http://grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/processterm.htm | Humanities Languages Process Analysis in Composition Guidelines and examples Process analysis is sometimes called step - by - step writing by Richard Nordquist Updated September 28 , 2018 In composition process analysis is a method of paragraph or essay development by which a writer explains step by step how something is done or how to do something . Process analysis writing can take one of two forms : Information about how something works ( informative An explanation of how to do something ( directive ) . An informative process analysis is usually written in the third - person point of view ; a directive process analysis is usually written in the second person . In both forms , the steps are typically organized in chronological order - - that is , the order in which the steps are carried out . Examples and Observations Planning a good process analysis requires the writer to include all the essential steps . Be sure you have all the tools or ingredients needed . Arrange the steps in the correct sequence . Like all good writing , a process essay requires a thesis to tell the reader the significance of the process . The writer can tell the reader how to do something , but also should inform the reader about the usefulness or importance of the endeavor . " ( G . H . Muller and H . S . Wiener , The Short Prose Reader . McGraw - Hill , 2006 ) Reviewing Your Process " When you revise your process writing , think about the people who will be reading it . Ask yourself these questions : ( Robert Funk , et al . , The Simon and Schuster Short Prose Reader , 2nd ed . Prentice Hall , 2000 ) Have I chosen the best starting point ? Think about how much your audience already knows before you decide where to begin describing the process . Do n ' t assume your readers have background knowledge that they may not have . Have I provided enough definitions of terms ? Have I been specific enough in the details ? " Example : How to Remove Chewing Gum From Hair ( Joshua Piven et al . , The Worst - Case Scenario Survival Handbook : Parenting . Chronicle Books , 2003 ) Prepare an ice sack . Place several cubes of ice in a plastic bag or thin cloth . Seal or hold it closed . Apply an ice pack to hair . Move the affected hair away from the scalp and press the ice against the gum for 15 to 30 minutes or until the gum freezes solid . Use a rubber glove or a dry washcloth to hold the ice compress if your hand becomes chilled . Crack the frozen gum into pieces . With one hand , hold the stuck section of the hair between the gum clot and the scalp , and break the frozen gum into small pieces . Remove the gum . Gently pull the frozen gum pieces from the hair using your other hand . If the warmth of your hand begins to melt the gum , refreeze and repeat until all the gum has been removed from the hair . Example : How to Mark a Book There are all kinds of devices for marking a book intelligently and fruitfully . Here ' s the way I do it : ( Mortimer Adler , " How to Mark a Book . " Saturday Review , July 6 , 1940 ) Underlining : of major points , of important or forceful statements . Vertical lines at the margin : to emphasize a statement already underlined . Star , asterisk , or another doo - dad at the margin : to be used sparingly , to emphasize the ten or twenty most important statements in the book . . . . Numbers in the margin : to indicate the sequence of points the author makes in developing a single argument . Numbers of other pages in the margin : to indicate where else in the book the author made points relevant to the point marked ; to tie up the ideas in a book , which , though they may be separated by many pages , belong together . Circling of keywords or phrases . Writing in the margin , or at the top or bottom of the page , for the sake of : recording questions ( and perhaps answers ) which a passage raised in your mind ; reducing a complicated discussion to a simple statement ; recording the sequence of major points right through the book . I use the end - papers at the back of the book to make a personal index of the author ' s points in the order of their appearance . Izaak Walton on How to Dress a Large Chub ( 1676 ) " [ I ] f he be a large Chub , then dress him thus : " First scale him , and then wash him clean , and then take out his guts ; and to that end make the hole as little and near to his gills as you may conveniently , and especially make clean his throat from the grass and weeds that are usually in it ( for if that be not very clean , it will make him to taste very sour ) ; having so done , put some sweet herbs into his belly , and then tie him with two or three splinters to a spit , and roast him " Being thus drest , you will find him a much better dish of meat than you , or most folk , even than Anglers themselves do imagine ; for this dries up the fluid watery humor with which all Chubs do abound . " But take this rule with you , that a Chub newly taken and newly drest , is so much better than a Chub of a days keeping after he is dead , that I can compare him to nothing so fitly as to Cherries newly gathered from a tree , and others that have been bruised and lain a day or two in water . Being thus used and drest presently , and not washt after he is gutted ( for note that lying long in water , and washing the blood out of the Fish after they be ( Izaak Walton , The Compleat Angler , 5th edition , 1676 ) The Limitations of Language " Those who think they are testing a boy ' s ' elementary ' command of English by asking him to describe in words how one ties one ' s tie or what a pair of scissors is like , are far astray . For precisely what language can hardly do at all , and never does well , is to inform us about complex physical shapes and movements . . . . Hence we never in real life voluntarily use language for this purpose ; we draw a diagram or go through pantomimic gestures . " ( C.S. Lewis , Studies in Words , 2nd ed . Cambridge University Press , 1967 ) The Lighter Side of Process Analysis How to Make a Swing With No Rope or Board or Nails " First grow a moustache A hundred inches long , Then loop it over a hick ' ry limb ( Make sure the limb is strong ) . Now pull yourself up off the ground And wait until the spring - - Then swing ! " Shel Silverstein , " How to Make a Swing With No Rope or Board or Nails . " A Light in the Attic . HarperCollins , 1981 ) How to Pack a Suit So It Wo n ' t Come Out Wrinkled " Lay the suit on its back on a flat surface such as a tennis court . Take the sleeves and place them at the side . Take the left sleeve and place it on the suit ' s hip , and hold the right sleeve over the suit ' s head as though the suit is waving in a jaunty manner . Now put both sleeves straight up over the suit ' s head and shout , ' Touchdown ! ' Ha ha ! Is n ' t this fun ? You may feel silly , but trust me , you ' re not half as silly as the people who think they can fold a suit so it wo n ' t come out wrinkled .

http://grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/purpleproseterm.htm | Humanities Languages Purple Prose From the song " Unbelievable " by the British band EMF ( 1990 ) . by Richard Nordquist Updated March 03 , 2019 A generally pejorative term for writing or speech characterized by ornate , flowery , or hyperbolic language is known as purple prose . Contrast it with plain style " The double meaning of the term purple is useful , " says Stephen H . Webb . " [ I ] t is both imperial and regal , demanding attention , and overly ornate , ostentatious , even marked by profanity " ( Blessed Excess , 1993 ) . Bryan Garner notes that purple prose " derives from the Latin phrase purpureus pannus , which appears in the Ars Poetica of Horace ( 65 - 68 B.C. ) " ( Garner ' s Modern American Usage , 2009 ) . Examples and Observations : " Once in the hands of Duncan Nicol it was translated , as by consecration in the name of a divinity more benevolent than all others , into pisco punch , the wonder and glory of San Francisco ’ s heady youth , the balm and solace of fevered generations , a drink so endearing and inspired that although its prototype has vanished , its legend lingers on , one with the Grail , the unicorn , and the music of the spheres . ” ( Columnist Lucius Beebe , Gourmet magazine , 1957 ; quoted by M . Carrie Allan in " Spirits : Pisco Punch , a San Francisco Classic Cocktail With Official Aspirations . " The Washington Post , October 3 , 2014 ) " Outside pockets of euphoria in Burnley , Hull and Sunderland , fans have been wallowing in liquor - soaked self - pity as the chill hand of failure gripped them by the neck and flung them mercilessly onto the scrap heap of broken dreams . ( Please forgive my purple prose here : as a red of the Stretford variety I am perhaps inappropriately using this week ' s digest as catharsis , but I ' ll move on , I promise . ) " ( Mark Smith , " The Northerner : United in Grief . " The Guardian , May 28 , 2009 ) Uncle Tom ' s Cabin suffers from padding ( what the French call remplissage ) , from improbable plot contrivances , mawkish sentimentality , unevenness in prose quality , and ' ' - - sentences like , ' Even so , beloved Eva ! fair star of thy dwelling ! Thou art passing away ; but they that love thee dearest know it not . ' " ( Charles Johnson , " Ethics and Literature . " Ethics , Literature , and Theory : An Introductory Reader , 2nd ed . , edited by Stephen K . George . Rowman & Littlefield , 2005 ) Characteristics of Purple Prose " The culprits of are usually modifiers that make your writing wordy , overwrought , distracting , and even silly . . . . " In purple prose , skin is always creamy , eyelashes always glistening , heroes always brooding , and sunrises always magical . Purple prose also features an abundance of metaphors and figurative language , long sentences , and abstractions . " ( Jessica Page Morrell , Between the Lines . Writer ' s Digest Books , 2006 ) In Defense of Purple Prose " Certain producers of plain prose have conned the reading public into believing that only in prose plain , humdrum or flat can you articulate the mind of inarticulate ordinary Joe . Even to begin to do that you need to be more articulate than Joe , or you might as well tape - record him and leave it at that . This minimalist vogue depends on the premise that only an almost invisible style can be sincere , honest , moving , sensitive and so forth , whereas prose that draws attention to itself by being revved up , ample , intense , incandescent or flamboyant turns its back on something almost holy - - the human bond with ordinariness . . . . " It takes a certain amount of sass to speak up for prose that ' s rich , succulent and full of novelty . Purple is immoral , undemocratic and insincere ; at best artsy , at worst the exterminating angel of depravity . So long as originality and lexical precision prevail , the sentient writer has a right to immerse himself or herself in phenomena and come up with as personal a version as can be . A writer who ca n ' t do purple is missing a trick . A writer who does purple all the time ought to have more tricks . " ( Paul West , " In Defense of Purple Prose . " The New York Times , Dec . 15 , 1985 ) The Pejoration of Purple Prose " The idiom was originally a purple passage or purple patch , and the earliest citation in the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1598 . The rhetorical sense in English comes from the Ars Poetica of Horace , specifically from the phrase purpureus pannus , a purple garment or raiment , the color purple symbolizing royalty , grandeur , power . Purple prose does n ' t seem to have become wholly pejorative until the twentieth century when steep declines in the vocabulary and reading comprehension of college - educated Americans caused a panic in the education establishment and the newspaper industry , which together launched a campaign against prose that displayed royalty , grandeur , and power . This led to the disappearance of the semicolon , the invention of the sentence fragment , and a marked increase in the use of words like methodological .

http://grammar.about.com/od/rs/g/sarcasmterm.htm | Humanities Languages Definition and Examples of Sarcasm by Richard Nordquist Updated February 15 , 2019 Sarcasm is a mocking , often ironic or satirical remark , sometimes intended to wound as well as amuse . Adjective : sarcastic . A person adept at using sarcasm is sarcastic . Also known in rhetoric as sarcasm and the bitter taunt " Sarcasm , " says John Haiman , " is a particularly transparent variety of ' cheap talk ' or hot air insofar as the speaker is overtly meaning ( and saying ) the opposite of what he or she ostensibly claims to be saying " ( Talk Is Cheap : Sarcasm , Alienation , and the Evolution of Language , 1998 ) . Pronunciation : sar - KAZ - um Etymology : From the Greek , " bite the lips in rage " Examples and Observations " Oh , a sarcasm detector . That ’ s a really useful invention ! " ( Comic Book Guy , The Simpsons " ' Oh , Lou , ' my mother would whine , dressed for a cocktail party in her muted , earth - tone caftan . ' You ' re not going to wear that , are you ? ' " ' What ' s wrong with this ? ' he ' d ask . ' These pants are brand - new . ' " ' New to you , ' she ' d say . ' Pimps and circus clowns have been dressing that way for years . ' " ( David Sedaris , " The Women ' s Open . " Naked . Little , Brown and Company , 1997 Dr . House : So you ' re treating professional sports injuries now ? Patient : Oh , no , I ' m not . . . Dr . House : . . . familiar with the concept of sarcasm . Do n ' t sweat it , it ' s new . ( " Dying Changes Everything , " House , M.D . Abed : Another muffin basket , from another actress who wants to be in my next film . Jeff : Does that work ? Abed : Yep . Meryl Streep has two Oscars because of her baking . Ah , that ' s sarcasm , but I forgot to inflect . This sounds way more like sarcasm . Inflection is so interesting . [ Abed should have said intonation , not inflection . ] ( Danny Pudi as Abed and Joel McHale as Jeff in " Communication Studies . " Community , Feb . 11 , 2010 " Neither irony or sarcasm is argument . " ( Samuel Butler ) " First , situations may be ironic , but only people can be sarcastic . Second , people may be unintentionally ironic , but sarcasm requires intention . What is essential to sarcasm is that it is overt irony intentionally used by the speaker as a form of verbal aggression . " ( John Haiman , Talk Is Cheap : Sarcasm , Alienation , and the Evolution of Language . Oxford University Press , 1998 Irony and Sarcasm " Classical rhetoricians admired irony as a rhetorical device primarily because of its ability to engage the audience ' s interest . . . . " However , as Aristotle pointed out , irony frequently ' implies contempt ' for its target and therefore it must be used carefully . Moreover , while Aristotle observed that irony ' befit [ s ] a gentleman , ' he warns that to be most effective , ' [ t ] he jests of the ironical man [ should be ] at his own expense , ' not at the expense of others . . . . " For example , when [ Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia accuses ] the Court of misleadingly describing its previous sex - classification cases , Scalia ' s sarcasm is patent : The wonderful thing about these statements is that they are not actually false - - just as it would not be actually false to say that ' our cases have thus far reserved the " beyond a reasonable doubt " standard of proof for criminal cases , ' or that ' we have not equated tort actions , for all purposes to criminal prosecutions . ' He is equally sarcastic elsewhere . " ( Michael H . Frost , Introduction to Classical Legal Rhetoric : A Lost Heritage . Ashgate , 2005 ) " Contrary to frequent usage , irony , the device , does not always communicate sarcasm , the effect . The speaker or author ' s rhetorical goal may be anything from gentle humor , intended to produce a mutual laugh and so establish rapport between speaker and hearer , to corrosive derision meant to insult the audience or reduce a target to a smoking ruin . What is attempted or achieved ( the speech act or illocutionary dimension of the utterance ) depends , as always , on the variables of the rhetorical situation , and on how the device and its detection contribute to those variables . " ( Jeanne Fahnestock , Rhetorical Style : The Uses of Language in Persuasion . Oxford Univ . Press , 2011 ) " Let it be first provided that this figure ( sarcasmus ) be not used without some great cause which may well deserve it , as arrogancie , insolent pride , wilfull folly , shamefull lecherie , ridiculous avarice , or such like , for it is both folly and rudenesse to use derision without cause : but to mocke silly people , innocents , or men in misery , or the poore in distresse , argueth both the pride of the mind , and the crueltie of the heart . " ( Henry Peachum , The Garden of Eloquence , 1593 ) Adrian Monk : This is my assistant , Sharona . Ambrose Monk : Hello , we spoke on the phone . Adrian Monk : Oh , so you can dial a telephone ! I was worried . I thought you might be paralyzed , or something . Ambrose Monk : I was n ' t paralyzed . I was being sarcastic . You were being sardonic . Sarcasm is a contemptuous ironic statement . You were being mockingly derisive . That ' s sardonic . ( Tony Shalhoub and John Turturro in " Mr . Monk and the Three Pies . " Monk , 2004 ) " Whatever the reason , I was saddled with this strange name , which meant that I was constantly , constantly , being serenaded with the sometimes you feel like a nut Almond Joy / Mounds jingle , which I would have liked to quote in full , except that Hershey ' s legal staff denied me permission . I can certainly understand why . God only knows what ruin might befall Hershey ' s if this jingle - - which has n ' t been used in two decades - - were suddenly brazenly resurrected by a young Jewish candy freak . One shudders to consider the fallout for the entire fragile candy - trademark - jingle trademark ecosystem . " ( Steve Almond , Candyfreak , 2004 ) " Sarcasm is related to our ability to understand other people ' s mental state . It is not just a linguistic form ; it is also related to social cognition . " ( Dr . Shannon - Tsoory , qtd . by David Adam , " Highest Brain Areas Spot Lowest Form of Wit . " The Guardian , June 2 , 2005 ) " Sarcasm I now see to be , in general , the language of the devil ; for which reason I have long since as good as renounced it . " ( Thomas Carlyle , Sartor Resartus , 1833 - 34 ) The Lighter Side of Sarcasm Teen 1 : Oh , here comes that cannonball guy . He ' s cool . Teen 2 : Are you being sarcastic , dude ? Teen 1 : I do n ' t even know anymore . " Homerpalooza , " The Simpsons Leonard : You convinced me . Maybe tonight we should sneak in and shampoo her carpet . Sheldon : You do n ' t think that crosses the line ? Leonard : Yes . For God ' s sake , Sheldon , do I have to hold up a sarcasm sign every time I open my mouth ? Sheldon : You have a sarcasm sign ?

I hope I ' m a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory for my whole life ! Was that sarcasm ? Penny : No . Was that sarcasm ? Yes . Was that sarcasm ? Stop it !

http://grammar.about.com/od/rs/g/standengterm.htm | Humanities Languages Standard English ( SE ) Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms by Richard Nordquist Updated January 24 , 2018 Standard English is a controversial term for a form of the English language that is written and spoken by educated users . Abbreviation : SE . Also known as Standard Written English SWE ) . According to Tom McArthur in The Oxford Companion to the English Language ( 1992 ) , the term Standard English " resists easy definition but is used as if most educated people nonetheless know precisely what it refers to . " Examples and Observations " The term refers to both an actual variety of language and an idealized norm of English acceptable in many social situations . As a language variety , Standard English is the language used in most public discourse and in the regular operation of American social institutions . The news media , the government , the legal profession , and the teachers in our schools and universities all view Standard English as their proper mode of communication , primarily in expository and argumentative writing , but also in public speaking " Standard English is thus different from what is normally thought of as speech in that Standard English must be taught , whereas children learn to speak naturally without being taught . " The American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style . Houghton Mifflin , 2005 " We need to know , but we need to know it critically , analytically , and in the context of language history . We also need to understand the regularity of non - standard variants . If we approach good and bad grammar in this way , the study of language will be a liberating factor - - not merely freeing learners from socially stigmatized usage by replacing that usage with new linguistic manners , but educating people in what language and linguistic manners are all about . " ( Edwin L . Battistella , Bad Language : Are Some Words Better Than Others ? Oxford University Press , 2005 Tacit Conventions of Usage " [ T ] he conventions of linguistic usage are tacit . The rules of standard English are not legislated by a tribunal but emerge as an implicit consensus within a virtual community of writers , readers , and editors . That consensus can change over time in a process as unplanned and uncontrollable as the vagaries of fashion . No official ever decided that respectable men and women were permitted to doff their hats and gloves in the 1960s or to get pierced and tattooed in the 1990s — nor could any authority with powers short of Mao Zedong have stopped these changes . In a similar manner , centuries of respectable writers have shrugged off banter , mob , and sham to Strunk and White ’ s disparaging of to personalize , to contact , and six people ( as opposed to six persons ) . " ( Steven Pinker , " False Fronts in the Language Wars . " Slate , May 31 , 2012 The Convenience of Standard English " [ Standard English is that ] particular variety of English which is regarded by educated people as appropriate for most types of public discourse , including most broadcasting , almost all publication , and virtually all conversation with anyone other than intimates . . . . . is not entirely uniform around the globe : for example , American users of standard English say the first floor I ' ve just gotten a letter and write center color , while British users say ground floor I ' ve just got a letter and write centre colour . But these regional differences are few in comparison with the very high degree of agreement about which forms should count as standard . Nevertheless , standard English , like all living languages , changes over time . . . . " It is important to realize that standard English is in no way intrinsically superior to any other variety of English : in particular , it is not ' more logical , ' ' more grammatical , ' or ' more expressive . ' It is , at the bottom , a convenience : the use of a single agreed standard form , learned by speakers everywhere , minimizes uncertainty , confusion , misunderstanding and communicative difficulty generally . " ( R.L. Trask , Dictionary of English Grammar . Penguin , 2000 Origins of Standard English " By far the most influential factor in the rise of was the importance of London as the capital of England . . . . London English took as well as gave . It began as a Southern and ended as a Midland dialect . By the 15th century , there had come to prevail in the East Midlands a fairly uniform dialect , and the language of London agrees in all important respects with it . We can hardly doubt that the importance of the eastern counties . . . is largely responsible for this change . Even such Northern characteristics as are found in the standard speech seem to have entered by way of these counties . The history of Standard English is almost a history of London English . " ( Albert C . Baugh and Thomas Cable , A History of the English Language , 5th ed . Prentice Hall , 2002 ) " Half - way through the 17th century , the lexicographer Thomas Blount declares that the ' Babel ' of the vernacular made England a ' self - stranger ' nation - - one growing alien to itself through this diversity of available forms . He dedicates his dictionary of 1656 to the cause of having ' English Englished . ' Arguably , in this context , it is not the rise of a standard variety of language , but a new awareness of dialect and variability of discourse - - the ' self - stranger ' English of the Renaissance - - that best defines the linguistic culture of early modern England . " ( Paula Blank , " The Babel of Renaissance English . " The Oxford History of English , ed . by Lynda Mugglestone . Oxford University Press , 2006 Varieties of Standard English " [ T ] here is no such thing ( at present ) as a which is not British or American or Australian , etc . There is no International Standard ( yet ) , in the sense that publishers can not currently aim at a standard which is not locally bound .

Conjunctions articles , and short prepositions are not considered major words ; however , capitalize all words of four letters or more . Capitalize all verbs ( including linking verbs ) , nouns adjectives adverbs , and pronouns . When a capitalized word is a hyphenated compound , capitalize both words . Also , capitalize the first word after a colon or a dash in a title . . . . Exception : In titles of books and articles in reference lists , capitalize only the first word , the first word after a colon or em dash , and proper nouns . Do not capitalize the second word of a hyphenated compound . " Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association , 6th ed . American Psychological Association , 2010 ) Chicago Style : Principles of Headline - Style Capitalization " The conventions of headline style are governed mainly by emphasis and grammar . The following rules , though occasionally arbitrary , are intended primarily to facilitate the consistent styling of titles mentioned or cited in text and notes : Capitalize the first and last words in titles and subtitles ( but see rule 7 ) , and capitalize all other major words ( nouns , pronouns , verbs , adjectives , adverbs , and some conjunctions - - but see rule 4 ) . Lowercase the articles the , a , and an Lowercase prepositions , regardless of length , except when they are used adverbially or adjectivally ( up in Look Up down in Turn Down on The On Button to Come To , etc . ) or when they compose part of a Latin expression used adjectivally or adverbially ( De Facto , In Vitro , etc . ) .

But Opt For Every Word In Capitals And A Few Of Your Users Will Find Themselves Mentally Correcting Every ' Wrongly ' Capitalized Word . It ' s a bit like the use of apostrophes : most people do n ' t notice whether or not you are ' correct ' ; some people definitely do and their irritation about your ' mistakes ' will distract them from the smooth flow of questions and answers .

http://grammar.about.com/od/tz/g/situationalironyterm.htm | Humanities Languages Definition and Examples of Situational Irony A famous example of situational irony occurs in the play Oedipus Rex by Richard Nordquist Updated March 27 , 2018 Situational irony is an event or occasion in which the outcome is significantly different from what was expected or considered appropriate . Also called irony of fate , irony of events , and irony of circumstance Dr . Katherine L . Turner characterizes situational irony as " a long con – – a ruse taking place over time . Participants and onlookers do not recognize the irony because its revelation comes at a later moment in time , the unexpected ' twist . ' In situational irony , the anticipated outcome contrasts with the end result " ( This Is the Sound of Irony , 2015 ) . " The essence of situational irony , " says J . Morgan Kousser , " lies in an apparent contradiction or incongruity between two events or meanings , a contradiction resolved when the literal or surface meaning turns out to be one of appearance only , while the initially incongruous meaning turns out to be the reality " ( Region , Race , and Reconstruction , 1982 ) . Also Known As : Irony of situation , irony of events , irony of behavior , practical irony , irony of fate , unintended consequences , irony of existence Examples and Observations Situational irony , sometimes called irony of events , is most broadly defined as a situation where the outcome is incongruous with what was expected , but it is also more generally understood as a situation that includes contradictions or sharp contrasts . . . . An example would be a man who takes a step aside in order to avoid getting sprinkled by a wet dog , and falls into a swimming pool . " ( Lars Elleström , Divine Madness . Bucknell University . Press , 2002 ) " Not all forms of irony are conscious , intentional or planned . For example , irony also occurs serendipitously through unintended and unexpected circumstances or through the evolution of situations . focuses on the surprising and inevitable fragility of the human condition , in which the consequences of actions are often the opposite of what was expected . " ( David Grant , The Sage Handbook of Organizational Discourse . Sage , 2004 ) " [ I ] magine that a person has invested a large sum of money in an apparently reliable company while mocking others for failing to take the same opportunity . Then , the company turns out to be a failure and all the investor ' s money is lost . The situation is ironical for two reasons in combination : ( 1 ) there is a mismatch between the investor ' s certainty on the solvency of the company and the real situation ; ( 2 ) after getting ruined , the investor ' s unwise mockery of those situational irony , just like in verbal irony , there is incongruity between intention and effect or between belief and reality . " ( Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Alicia Galera Masegosa , Cognitive Modeling : A Linguistic Perspective . John Benjamins , 2014 ) Situational Irony in A.E. Housman ' s Poem " Is My Team Ploughing ? " “ Is my team ploughing , That I was used to drive And hear the harness jingle When I was man alive ? ” Aye , the horses trample , The harness jingles now ; No change though you lie under The land you used to plow . “ Is football playing Along the river shore , With lads to chase the leather , Now I stand up no more ? ” Aye , the ball is flying , The lads play heart and soul ; The goal stands up , the keeper Stands up to keep the goal . “ Is my girl happy , That I thought hard to leave , And has she tired of weeping As she lies down at eve ? ” Ay , she lies down lightly , She lies not down to weep : Your girl is well contented . Be still , my lad , and sleep . “ Is my friend hearty , Now I am thin and pine , And has he found to sleep in A better bed than mine ? ” Yes , lad , I lie easy , I lie as lads would choose ; I cheer a dead man ’ s sweetheart , Never ask me whose . ( A.E. Housman , " Is My Team Ploughing ? " A Shropshire Lad , 1896 ) Situational Irony in Creative Nonfiction " S ituational irony abounds in fiction , but it ' s also a major component to many non - fiction narratives — if you think about the popular ' storm ' books from a couple of years ago , Sebastian Junger ' s Perfect Storm and Erik Larson ' s Isaac ' s Storm , both accounts of these terrible hurricanes deal with the all - too - human disinclination to take nature seriously . ' Hey , how bad can some wind and rain be ? Not going to stop me from raking in the dough . ' " ( Ellen Moore and Kira Stevens , Good Books Lately . St . Martin ' s Press , 2004 ) The Irony of War " Every war is ironic because every war is worse than expected . Every war constitutes an irony of situation because its means are so melodramatically disproportionate to its presumed ends . " ( Paul Fussell , The Great War and Modern Memory . Oxford University Press , 1975 ) Incongruity in Situational Irony entails a certain incongruity between what a person says , believes , or does and how , unbeknownst to that person , things actually are . [ In Sophocles ' tragedy Oedipus Rex ] Oedipus vows to discover Laius ' murderer , unaware that Laius was his father and that he himself is guilty of patricide . Whatever the precise nature of the incongruity involved in situational irony , verbal and situational irony loosely share a conceptual core of incongruity , often tending toward polar opposition , between two elements , such as a semblance of things and reality . Dramatic irony may be further distinguished as a type of situational irony ; it is simply when situational irony occurs in a drama . The incongruity is between what a dramatic character says , believes , or does and how unbeknownst to that character , the dramatic reality is . The example in the preceding paragraph is , then , specifically of dramatic irony . " ( David Wolfsdorf , Trials of Reason : Plato and the Crafting of Philosophy . Oxford University Press , 2008 ) " A Wimbledon commentator may say , ' Ironically , it was the year he was given a wild - card entry , and not as a seeded player , that the Croatian won the title . ' The irony here refers , like linguistic irony , to a doubleness of sense or meaning . It is as though there is the course of events or human intentions , involving our awarding of rankings and expectations , that exists alongside another order of fate beyond our predictions . This is an irony of situation , or an irony of existence . " ( Claire Colebrook , Irony . Routledge , 2004 ) The Lighter Side of Situational Irony Sheldon : So this is how it ends : with cruel irony . Just as I make the commitment to preserving my body , I am betrayed by my appendix , a vestigial organ . Do you know the original purpose of the appendix , Leonard ? Leonard : No . Sheldon : I do , and yet I am doomed while you live on . Leonard : Funny how things work out , is n ' t it ? ( Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki in " The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification .

http://grammar.about.com/od/tz/g/tricolonterm.htm | Humanities Languages Tricolon Definition and Examples Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms One of the most famous tricolons is the succinct Latin remark attributed to Julius Caesar : Veni , vidi , vici by Richard Nordquist Updated January 20 , 2018 Tricolon is a rhetorical term for a series of three parallel words , phrases , or clauses . Plural : tricolons or tricola . Adjective : tricolonic . Also known as a triadic sentence For example , this tricolonic advice for speakers is generally credited to President Franklin D . Roosevelt : " Be sincere , be brief , be seated . " It ' s the " sense of completeness , " says Mark Forsyth , that " makes the tricolon perfectly suited to grand rhetoric " ( The Elements of Eloquence , 2013 ) . Tricolon comes from the Greek , " three " + " unit . " Examples and Observations " I require three things in a man . He must be handsome , ruthless , and stupid . " ( attributed to Dorothy Parker ) " The whole apparatus of football , fraternities , and fun is a means by which education is made palatable to those who have no business in it . " ( Robert Maynard Hutchins , " Where Do We Go From Here in Education ? " Speech to the Economic Club of Detroit , May 12 , 1947 ) " You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death , sneered at doom , and chuckled at catastrophe . " ( The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz , 1939 ) Every gun that is made , every warship launched , every rocket fired signifies , in the final sense , a theft from those who hunger and are not fed , those who are cold and are not clothed . This world in arms is not spending money alone . " It is spending the sweat of its laborers , the genius of its scientists , the hopes of its children ( President Dwight Eisenhower , " The Chance for Peace . " Speech delivered to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in April , 1953 ) " Let us search for his largeness of spirit somewhere inside of ourselves . And when the night grows dark , when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts , when our best - laid plans seem beyond our reach , let us think of Madiba and the words that brought him comfort within the four walls of his cell : ' It matters not how strait the gate , / How charged with punishments the scroll . / I am the master of my fate : / I am the captain of my soul . ' " ( President Barack Obama , speech at the memorial service for former South African president Nelson Mandela , December 10 , 2013 ) " Tell me and I forget . Teach me and I remember . Involve me and I learn . " ( attributed to Benjamin Franklin , among others ) " Down , down , down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go , the beautiful , the tender , the kind ; Quietly they go , the intelligent , the witty , the brave . I know . But I do not approve . And I am not resigned . " ( Edna St . Vincent Millay , " Dirge Without Music " ) " Eye it , try it , buy it " ( marketing slogan for Chevrolet in the 1940s ) " Ours is the age of substitutes : instead of language , we have jargon ; instead of principles , slogans ; instead of genuine ideas , bright ideas . " ( Eric Bentley , " The Dramatic Event " ) " In the still air , under the hard sun , gleamed the flags and the banners and the drum majorette ' s knees . " ( E.B. White , " Bond Rally " ) " And the fan takes over again , and the heat and the relaxed air and the memory of so many good little dinners in so many good little illegal places , with the theme of love , the sound of ventilation , the brief medicinal illusion of gin . " ( E.B. White , " Here Is New York " " She loved Maytree , his restlessness , his asceticism , his , especially , abdomen . " ( Annie Dillard , The Maytrees " What a time we had : splashed through bogs , ate like hogs , slept like logs . " ( Holling Vincoeur , Northern Exposure " The key to Springfield has always been Elm Street . The Greeks knew it . The Carthaginians knew it . Now you know it . " ( Herman , " Bart the General , " The Simpsons " If you describe things as better than they are , you are considered to be a romantic ; if you describe things as worse than they are , you will be called a realist ; and if you describe things exactly as they are , you will be thought of as a satirist . " ( Quentin Crisp , The Naked Civil Servant , 1968 ) " They liked his diffidence when he apologized for the company he kept , his insincerity when he defended the vagaries of his subordinates , his flexibilities when formulating new commitments . " ( John le Carré , Call for the Dead , 1961 ) " I think we ' ve all arrived at a very special place . Spiritually , ecumenically , grammatically . " ( Jack Sparrow , Pirates of the Caribbean " They chattered with stoic resignation about the state of the war , the quality of the beer , and the minor inconveniences of being alive . " ( Edmund Crispin [ Bruce Montgomery ] , Holy Disorders , 1945 ) " [ I ] n some unknown sequence , she put out the ' Do Not Disturb ' sign , applied pink Estée Lauder lipstick and combed her short auburn hair . She wrote a note on hotel stationery , opened her Bible to the 23rd Psalm and mixed some cyanide into a glass of Metamucil . " Then she drank it . " ( Carol Smith , " The Cipher in Room 214 . " Seattle Post - Intelligencer , October 6 , 2005 . Rpt . in The Best Creative Nonfiction , ed . by Lee Gutkind . W.W. Norton , 2007 ) Tricolons in the Gettysburg Address Tricolon means a unit made up of three parts . The third part in a tricolon used in oratory is usually more emphatic and conclusive than the others . This is the chief device used in Lincoln ' s Gettysburg Address , and is doubled at its conclusion : ' But , in a larger sense , we can not dedicate , we can not consecrate , we can not hallow , this ground . ' ' [ W ] e here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain , that this nation , under God , shall have a new birth of freedom , and that government of the people , by the people , for the people , shall not perish from the earth . ' Although Lincoln himself knew no Cicero , he had learnt this and other beauties of Ciceronian style from studying the prose of the baroque age . " ( Gilbert Highet , The Classical Tradition : Greek and Roman Influences on Western Literature . Oxford University Press , 1949 / 1985 ) The Tricolonic Joke " [ I ] n the tricolon joke , the narrative is repeated so that it becomes a script or ' acquired information , ' and this repetition sets up expectations about the series , the model being followed . The third part of the tricolon is then employed to upset these expectations in some way . Here is [ a ] tricolon joke : There are three Irishmen stranded on an island . Suddenly a fairy appears and offers to grant each one of them one wish . The first one asks to be intelligent . Instantly , he is turned into a Scotsman and he swims off the island . The next one asks to be even more intelligent than the previous one . So , instantly , he is turned into The script expectations are doubly defeated in the third section of the tricolon . Not only is no intelligence required to leave the island , the intelligent third member of the trio , instead of being the expected ' Englishman ' ( in the English version of the joke , of course ) , is a woman , and the joke is partly on the listener , especially if male and English . " ( Alan Partington , The Linguistics of Laughter : A Corpus - Assisted Study of Laughter - Talk . Routledge , 2006 ) The Lighter Side of Tricolons : An Unfortunate Series " A nervous - looking Cameron , dressed in a pink sleeveless shirt , black pants and chewing gum , appeared before Judge Leslie Brown in an LA court on Thursday .

http://grammar.about.com/od/tz/g/voicerhetoricalterm.htm | Humanities Languages The Writer ' s Voice in Literature Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms The Writer ' s Voice . Credit : Hero Images by Richard Nordquist Updated October 23 , 2017 In rhetoric and literary studies , voice is the distinctive style or manner of expression of an author or narrator . As discussed below , voice is one of the most elusive yet important qualities in a piece of writing " Voice is usually the key element in effective writing , " says teacher and journalist Donald Murray . " It is what attracts the reader and communicates to the reader . It is that element that gives the illusion of speech . " Murray continues : " Voice carries the writer ' s intensity and glues together the information that the reader needs to know . It is the music in writing that makes the meaning clear " ( Expecting the Unexpected : Teaching Myself - - and Others - - to Read and Write , 1989 ) . Etymology From the Latin , " call " The Music of a Writer ' s Voice " Voice is the sum of all strategies used by the author to create the illusion that the writer is speaking directly to the reader from the page . " ( Don Fry , quoted by Roy P . Clark , Writing Tools . Little , Brown , 2006 ) Voice is the most popular metaphor for writing style , but an equally suggestive one may be delivery or presentation , as it includes body language , facial expression , stance , and other qualities that set speakers apart from one another . " ( Ben Yagoda , The Sound on the Page . HarperCollins , 2004 ) " If one means by style the voice , the irreducible and always recognizable and alive thing , then of course style is really everything . " ( Mary McCarthy , Writers at Work : The Paris Review Interviews , Second Series . 1977 ) Voice and Speech " I think voice is one of the main forces that draws us into texts . We often give other explanations for what we like ( ' clarity , ' ' style , ' ' energy , ' ' sublimity , ' ' reach , ' even ' truth ' ) , but I think it ' s often one sort of voice or another . One way of saying this is that voice seems to overcome ' writing ' or textuality " That is , speech seems to come to us as listener ; the speaker seems to do the work of getting the meaning into our heads . In the case of writing , on the other hand , it ' s as though we as reader have [ to ] go to the text and do the work of extracting the meaning . And speech seems to give us more sense of contact with the author . " ( Peter Elbow , Everyone Can Write : Essays Toward a Hopeful Theory of Writing and Teaching . Oxford University Press , 2000 ) Multiple Voices " The personality I am expressing in this written sentence is not the same as the one I orally express to my three - year - old who at this moment is bent on climbing onto my typewriter . For each of these two situations , I choose a different ' , ' a different mask , in order to accomplish what I want accomplished . " ( Walker Gibson , The Limits of Language . Hill and Wang , 1966 ) " Just as you dress differently on different occasions , as a writer you assume different voices in different situations . If you ' re writing an essay about a personal experience , you may work hard to create a strong personal voice in your essay . . . . If you ' re writing a report or essay exam , you will adopt a more formal , public tone . Whatever the situation , the choice you make as you write and revise . . . will determine how readers interpret and respond to your presence . " ( Lisa Ede , Work in Progress : A Guide to Writing and Revising . St . Martin ' s Press , 1989 ) Tone and Voice " If is the writer ' s personality that a reader ' hears ' in a text , then tone might be described as the writer ' s attitude in a text . The tone of a text might be emotional ( angry , enthusiastic , melancholy ) , measured ( such as in an essay in which the author wants to seem reasonable on a controversial topic ) , or objective or neutral ( as in a scientific report ) . . . . In writing , tone is created through word choice sentence structure imagery , and similar devices that convey to a reader the writer ' s attitude . Voice , in writing , by contrast , is like the sound of your spoken voice : deep , high - pitched , nasal . It is the quality that makes your voice distinctly your own , no matter what tone you might take . In some ways , tone and voice overlap , but voice is a more fundamental characteristic of a writer , whereas tone changes upon the subject and the writer ' s feelings about it . " ( Robert P . Writing : Ten Core Concepts . Cengage , 2015 ) Grammar and Voice " If , as we believe , grammar is linked to voice , students need to be thinking about grammar far earlier in the writing process . We can not teach grammar in lasting ways if we teach it as a way to fix students ' writing , especially writing they view as already complete . Students need to construct knowledge of grammar by practicing it as part of what it means to write , particularly in how it helps create a voice that engages the reader on the page . " ( Mary Ehrenworth and Vicki Vinton , The Power of Grammar : Unconventional Approaches to the Conventions of Language . Heinemann , 2005 ) The Elusive Entity of Voice " One of the most mysterious of writing ’ s immaterial properties is what people call ' . ' . . . Prose can show many virtues , including originality , without having a voice . It may avoid cliché , radiate conviction , be grammatically so clean that your grandmother could eat off it . But none of this has anything to do with this elusive entity the ' voice . ' There are probably all kinds of literary sins that prevent a piece of writing from having a voice , but there seems to be no guaranteed technique for creating one . Grammatical correctness does n ’ t insure it . Calculated incorrectness does n ’ t , either . Ingenuity , wit , sarcasm , euphony , frequent outbreaks of the first - person singular — any of these can enliven prose without giving it a voice . " ( Louis Menand , " Bad Comma . " The New Yorker , June 28 , 2004 ) The Power of a Literary Voice The Writer ' s Voice : 10 Writers on Writing Editorial We and Inclusive We Eudora Welty on Listening to Words First - Person Point of View Implied Author Persona Tone Unreliable Narrator Voice ( Grammar ) Voice ( Phonetics ) Continue Reading | [

http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/grammarlogs4/grammarlogs541.htm | The Grammar Logs # 541 Question What is the correct way to write phone numbers ? Years ago you put the area code in parentheses . Now , you usually do n ' t . But what is considered correct format ? nnn - nnn - nnnn ? nnn nnn - nnnn ? or some other format ? We ' re having a bit of a style dispute here or display of phone numbers on internal and external web sites , as well as business cards . Thanks . Source of Question , Date of Response Minneapolis , Minnesota Wed , Jan 8 , 2003 Grammar ' s Response There ' s nothing wrong with enclosing the area code in parentheses except that you sometimes come to grief when the phone number itself is within parentheses , and it becomes cumbersome in lists of numbers . Most people nowadays are using a simple hyphen all the way across , as in 860 - 906 - 5000 ; however , the European style of using periods instead of hyphens — 860.906.5000 — is also becoming popular , and its similarity to e - mail addresses and Web addresses creates a nice consistent look . Authority : The Gregg Reference Manual by William A . Sabin . 9th Edition . McGraw - Hill : New York . 2001 . Used with the consent of Glencoe / McGraw - Hill . p . 127 . Question Which of the following sentences is correct ? A total of 300 interviews WAS completed among primary grocery shoppers . OR A total of 300 interviews WERE completed among primary grocery shoppers . I think it ' s the second one , where were refers to interviews and not total , but am not sure . Thank you for your help , Source of Question , Date of Response Chicago , Illinois Wed , Jan 8 , 2003 Grammar ' s Response Generally , " a total of _____ " leads us to a plural verb ( like " were " ) ; " the total of _____ " leads us to a singular verb . Consider if your sentence would be better with " Three hundred interviews were completed … " Authority : The Penguin Dictionary of American English Usage and Style by Paul W . Lovinger . Published by Penguin Reference ( New York : 2000 ) . Which is correct and why is it correct ? I got it free . I got it for free . Thanks . Colonia , New Jersey The New York Times stylebook looks down its nose at " for free " and calls it " colloquial . " I guess that ' s good enough for me . The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage . by Allan M . Siegal and William G . Connolly . Times books : New York . 1999 . In the sport of achery there are several types of competition . One of these consists of shooting arrows at a 3 - D target . Frequently , this type of competition is advertised as a " 3 - D shoot . " A common use might be to say , " here is a schedule of our 3 - D shoots . " My question is : Is the phrase " 3 - D shoot " the correct use of the word " shoot . " It seems incorrect to me to use a verb ( shoot ) as Duluth , Minnesota It ' s been a very long time since I went around an archery range with my 35 lb . bow and arrow , terrifying every right - thinking human and other animal for miles around , but the answer to this question probably has to be decided by archers . If " shoot " is part of the argot of archery , then go with it . I ' ve heard of " skeet shoots " and " turkey shoots , " so I think you ' re entitled to your 3 - D shoots . Separating an adverb from the verb — is this a split infinitive . She is also excited about the trip . OR She also is excited about the trip . San Francisco , California This is actually a fairly common question , and a common misconception about verb strings . It has nothing to do with infinitives , though , split or otherwise . The adverb frequently ( and quite acceptably ) finds itself between the auxiliary verb and the main verb , as in " She is also excited … " In this case , your two sentences mean two different things . In the first sentence , she is excited about the trip , but she might also be excited about something else — or be both excited and worried . The second sentence suggests that someone else ( in addition to our subject ) might be excited about this trip . I have finally gotten my co - workers to accept that if a comma is used before " Inc . " it should also be used after . ( For example : XYZ , Inc . , is a fictional company . ) We are now having a similar discussion regarding " Jr . " in a name . Which of the following would be correct ? John Smith , Jr . is waiting outside . John Smith , Jr . , is waiting outside . Because titles such as " M.D. " , " Esq . " , etc . are offset with commas , it seems that it would also be proper to offset " Jr . " , " Sr . " , etc . Charleston , West Virginia Follow the same inclination for these degrees and things like " Esq . " that you follow for Jr . , Sr . , and III . It ' s no longer considered necessary to set them off with a comma , but if you do separate the name from the Jr . or the Inc . , then it requires a pair of commas when that element appears within normal text . So your second example is correct . Or you could write " John Smith Jr . is waiting outside " ( unless you know that Johnny Smith really likes that comma ) . And if you and your officemates run into this kind of thing all the time , get at least one copy of the Gregg Reference Manual to have on hand at all times . The Gregg Reference Manual by William A . Sabin . 9th Edition . McGraw - Hill : New York . 2001 . Used with the consent of Glencoe / McGraw - Hill . If I have a full underscored sentence with an exclamation point at the end , would the exclamation point ( or whatever the punctuation mark at the end is ) be underscored as well ? New York , New York You would underscore the period , question mark , or exclamation mark at the end of a sentence only if that mark were an integral part of the final word ( s ) in your sentence ( like when you end with a title that has an exclamation mark in it ) : I just love Oklahoma ! ( I ca n ' t think of a good reason to underline the entirety of such a sentence , but the principle would apply to the underlining of the title in any case . In this case , since you ' ve chosen to underline the entire sentence , you have two reasons to underscore the title , including the exclamation mark . ) A regular sentence ( one without a sentence - ending , exclamatory title , say ) would not have the exclamation mark underscored . Note that some word processing programs have a mind of their own in this regard , and I ca n ' t imagine an instructor or other reader giving a writer a hard time on this account . Is orientated a proper word to use ? For example , I usually say that someone is very family - oriented , but other people say family - orientated . I would appreciate your help ! By the way , the word sherbet — we also argue on whether to pronounce it " bet " or " bert " at the end . What do you think ? Thank you ! Munster , Indiana Thu , Jan 9 , 2003 The " orientated " version of that word is more common in England than it is in the U.S. " Oriented " will do the job quite nicely . For some reason , people will mispronounce sherbet by sticking in an unwanted second r — and thus they say it that way , also . Say and write it sherbet . If you order " sherbert " in any kind of restaurant , you ' ll probably get what you want , but in finer restaurants the waiter will make fun of you behind your back . Which is correct , " Fewer mistakes MEANS better quality " or " Fewer mistakes MEAN better quality ? " Thanks for your help . Woodstock , Georgia Thu , Jan 9 , 2003 On the face of things , it would appear that " fewer mistakes " is a plural subject , so you ' d want " mean . " However , " fewer mistakes " is really a singular notion here : it actually stands for the idea of making fewer mistakes or the policy of reducing the number of mistakes . I ' d go with the singular " means . " In the sentence — The team and their coaches were honored by the banquet . — is the pronoun " their " used properly ? Team is singular and their is a plural pronoun . Menomonie , Wisconsin In England , we ' d have no problem here : words like staff and team are regularly regarded as plurals . In the U.S. , though , they ' re normally singular . You can avoid the problem and use " its coaches , " and no one could ever say you were wrong , no one on this side of the Atlantic , anyway . You could also argue that you ' re thinking of the team as a group of individuals and you want to emphasize that by using the plural " their " ( but that ' s a bit shaky , actually ) . Or you could write , " The its . Previous Grammar Log Next Grammar Log Index of Grammar Logs Guide to Grammar and Writing | [

http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/grammar-rules-and-tips/rules-for-writing-numbers.html | Home English Grammar Rules & Usage Grammar Rules and Grammar Tips Rules for Writing Numbers Rules for Writing Numbers 1st grade 2nd grade 3rd grade 4th grade 5th grade 6th grade 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade Elementary School Middle School High School College Numbers do n ' t just show up in math assignments , but also in everyday writing . Like many facets of the English language , there are rules for writing numbers . Yes , imagine that ! There are certain numbers that we spell out in letters and others we only write as numerals . You ' ve probably come across more than your fair share of ' Top 10 ' lists . Why is it not a ' Top Ten ' list ? Keep reading to find out . Numbers That Are Spelled Out As is often the case in English , there are some exceptions to the rules outlined below . As with other grammar rules , rules for writing numbers change according to certain style guides ( i.e . Chicago Manual of Style , AP , MLA , etc . ) . However , here are some general rules for spelling out numbers . Numbers under 10 : Martin has two younger sisters and five older brothers . Mary read four new books last week and seven newspaper articles . Numbers at the beginning of a sentence : Sixty children came to the class trip last year but , this year , there were 80 Fifty - two miles were all she had left on her journey to Scotland . Fractions : About one - third of the group comes from China . She filled her gas tank with two - thirds of a gallon . The exception to this rule pertains to mixed fraction . We then use numerals ( unless , of course , it comes at the beginning of a sentence ) : The recipe calls for 2½ cups of nuts . Our class art project calls for 1¼ cups of glitter . Numbers That Require Numerals Numbers 10 and above : She ' s bought about 12 pairs of shoes and 16 dresses in the last three months . When numbers are in a list , it ' s best to keep all the numbers in the list consistent , even if some numbers are under 10 and some are over : Incorrect : She has four brothers aged seven nine 12 , and 15 Correct : She has four brothers aged 7 9 , and 15 Incorrect : Mary ' s traveled to three European countries and 14 deserted islands . Correct : Mary ' s traveled to 3 European countries and 14 deserted islands . Dates : Are you coming to the game on May 21st Join our spooky Halloween party : 10 / 31 / 2018 We do not use ordinal numbers ( i.e. 1st , 2nd , 3rd ) with full dates : The play is on March 23rd , 2010 : The play is on March 23 , 2010 Percentages : According to the latest survey , 52 % of teachers live in the city . It ' s good to know that only 7 % of Americans say they are unhappy . If a percentage begins a sentence , it should be spelled out : Fifty - two percent of teachers live in the city . Ninety - three percent of Americans say they are happy . Decimals : There were 3.73 inches of rain last month . The mountain accumulated 8.98 inches of snow today . Numbers and Money When it comes to money , numbers follow their own set of rules . Money is usually written as numerals , but can be written out when the amount is vague or rounded up - " it cost two or three dollars . " Here are some of the most important guidelines to keep in mind : Currency symbols should be placed before the number , with no spaces . Example : She earned $ 2,750 for that project . Thousands should be separated by commas . Example : Marcy inherited $ 35,000 from her late uncle . Decimals should be separated by periods . Example : Seamus only spent $ 149.99 on that new smart TV . When you reach numbers in the millions and billions , write out the full word ( instead of all those zeros ) . Example : That new company earned $ 10 million in 2018 . Do not write out the currency if you ' ve already indicated an amount with a currency symbol . Example : I have $ 895 left in my checking account . More than One Rule The following are special instances that may be written in multiple ways . Decades : She lived in San Francisco in the eighties During the 1980s , she lived in San Francisco . She lived in San Francisco in the ' 80s Time : We usually spell out the time when it is followed by o ' clock or when a.m. or p.m. is not mentioned . However , we use numerals when we need to emphasize the exact time and when using a.m. and p.m . Using o ' clock : : We have to get up at 6 o ' clock to be on time for school . : We have to get up at six o ' clock to be on time for school . : She gets home around eight in the evening . Using a.m. or p.m . : They did not leave the party until two a.m . : The accident happened at 8 : 22 p.m . last night . : They did not leave the party until 2 a.m . Also , it ' s common to spell out noon and midnight instead of writing 12 : 00 p.m. and 12 : 00 a.m . We came home around midnight and slept until noon the next day . At midnight , the countdown for our trip will last until takeoff at noon tomorrow . Final Note When in doubt about whether to spell out or write a number , it ' s usually best to spell it out . However , for larger numbers , you can always err on the side of numeral form : The publishing company sold 10 million copies of my book last year . There are 1,500 sequins on that wedding dress ! If you ' re ready to get stuck into some more numbers , explore those that can be expressed as a quotient with these Rational Number Examples YourDictionary definition and usage example .

http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/punctuation/apostrophe-rules.html | Home English Grammar Rules & Usage Punctuation Rules Apostrophe Rules Apostrophe Rules 4th grade 5th grade 6th grade 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade Elementary School Middle School High School College Infographics Apostrophes ( ' ) can be confusing , even for native English speakers . However , they are n ' t difficult to master if you can remember a few apostrophe rules . Apostrophes serve two basic functions ; they show possession and indicate letters have been removed to form a contraction . Let ' s begin with an examination of apostrophes at work and then we ' ll break down all the rules . Apostrophes at Work You ' ll notice apostrophes are n ' t necessary when forming plural nouns or possessive adjectives ( my , your , his , her , their , our , its ) . In the following story , apostrophes are being used for multiple purposes . Let ' s take a look at where they are and how they ' re functioning : Robert and Lisa Smith have two beautiful children . Amy is nine and Ross is seven . The Smiths ' house has two floors . The children ' s rooms are upstairs , and the parents ' bedroom is downstairs . Lisa ' s room is always clean while Ross ' s room is always messy . The Smiths ' lives are very busy this week . Ross ' s sports teams all have games . Amy ' s ballet class has a recital and Robert ' s car is in the shop . So , the Joneses are trying to get everything done with only Lisa ' s car . Today , they ' ve been to school , practice , rehearsal , the grocery store , and the veterinarian ' s office . Mind you , they are n ' t finished yet . They ' ll be busy until late tonight and , tomorrow , they ' ll do it all again . Apostrophe Rules for Possessives It would be difficult for possessives to exist without apostrophes . Let ' s take a look at three different ways apostrophes dance around possessive words . 1 . Use an apostrophe + S ( ' s ) to show that one person / thing owns or is a member of something . Amy ' s ballet class , Lisa ' s car , Robert ' s car , Ross ' s room , Ross ' s sports teams Yes , even if the name ends in " s , " it ' s still correct to add another " ' s " to create the possessive form . It is also acceptable to add only an apostrophe to the end of singular nouns that end in " s " to make them possessive . In this case , you can show possession for Ross either way : Ross ' Ross ' s It makes no difference whether the item owned is singular or plural . We use " Ross ' s " to say that the room ( singular ) is his and that the sports teams ( plural ) are his . 2 . Use an apostrophe after the " s " at the end of a plural noun to show possession . The parents ' bedroom , the Smiths ' lives It is not necessary to add another " s " to the end of a possessive plural noun 3 . If a plural noun does n ' t end in " s , " add an apostrophe + " s " to create the possessive form . The children ' s rooms Remember , a possessive noun needs an apostrophe and an " s " at the end . If there ' s already an " s " there , you can just add the apostrophe . If there ' s no " s , " you have to add both - first the apostrophe , and then the " s . " Apostrophe Rule for Contractions There ' s really only one rule for apostrophes and contractions , aside from careful placement : 1 . When you combine two words to make a contraction , you will always take out some letters . In their place , use an apostrophe . they + have = they ' ve ; are + not = are n ' t ; they + will = they ' ll Imagine you ' re on a submarine that ' s diving deep into the ocean . As you dive deeper and deeper , the water pressure becomes greater . If you go too deep , the water will squeeze the submarine so hard it ' ll begin to leak , and you ' ll need to put something into the hole to stop the leak . The same thing happens when you squeeze two words together . Something pops out . And , wherever it comes out , you must place an apostrophe to plug the hole . The one exception to this rule is the contraction " wo n ' t , " which is " will + not . " Apostrophe Rules Summary English apostrophe rules are not difficult to master . Just remember that all possessives need an apostrophe and an " s " at the end . If the word already has an " s , " it only needs an apostrophe . If the word does not already have an " s , " it needs the apostrophe followed by " s . " As for contractions , the only apostrophe rule you need to remember is the same one you learned as a teenager . If you snuck out of the house at night , you had to put pillows under the sheets to make it look like you were still sleeping . In other words , if you take something out , replace it with something else . Then squish everything together so it looks like one body . Now , are you ready for some fun ?

http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/slang/homosexual-slang-terms.html | Home English Grammar Rules & Usage Slang Homosexual Slang Terms Homosexual Slang Terms 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade Middle School High School College When looking for homosexual slang terms , it is important to know which words are inappropriate or describe people in a derogatory manner and should not be used . Homosexual people may use some of the more playful terms themselves ; however , that does not give everyone the right to an otherwise negative or hurtful word . Slang Terms for Homosexuals We ' re going to go through each of the homosexual slang terms , that way you can see what the consequences are of using each one . Gay This word is generally used and is appropriate to use if you are describing a homosexual individual . " Gay " in and of itself is not really a derogatory term . The problem with the word " gay " lies in the fact that people often use it in inappropriate ways . For example , many individuals use " gay " to say that something is stupid or lame . They might say " That TV show was gay last night . " In this sense , it is very offensive to use the word gay , because using gay to describe something that is stupid or lame is also referring to homosexual people as stupid or lame . Fag / Faggot Neither fag nor faggot is an appropriate word to use . It is a slang term for a homosexual and has historically been used to mock men who act in an effeminate way . Indeed , some homosexual individuals will even use this word to characterize men who they feel are " gayer " than them . But that is often done in a playful manner . It is best for heterosexuals to avoid using the words fag and faggot , because they , generally , have a very offensive nature . Lesbian / Lesbo A lesbian refers to a homosexual woman . The word " lesbian " is not inappropriate to use , since it is the correct name for a woman who dates other women . However , make sure you are not using it in an accusatory or insulting manner . It ' s not necessarily always just what you say , but also how you say it . While " lesbo " is to some extent just a shortened version of the word " lesbian , " it tends to be used in a mean and derogatory way and it should be avoided . Dykes Lesbian women have often been referred to as dykes by their critics . This word is one that is extremely cruel . While it does seem to be on par with " fag " or " faggot " for men , in some instances , there is something about this word that makes it seem much worse . Perhaps it is the harsh sound of the word " dyke , " or perhaps it is the fact that so many times it is a word of insult , injury , and attack . Like other homosexual slang terms it is being reclaimed by younger lesbians . Queer The word " queer " has made its way into popular culture , in part thanks to the success of the television shows Queer As Folk and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy . The word queer has been widely adopted within the gay community as a badge of honor after being a slur for many years . It can also be used as an umbrella term for all non - heterosexual people . Homo Homo is perhaps the most interesting term that people have used to dub homosexual individuals . It is really just an abbreviation of homosexual , but it has been used in a derogatory way by heterosexual people for many years . Gay people are now reclaiming the word and may use it in a playful way . YourDictionary definition and usage example .

not African American he was from Jamaica so she could shut up with her BS politically correct crap Also I heard another story this one second hand obviously about a girl who got pissed about being

http://grammarglitchcentral.com/2011/02/was-the-giant-renown-or-renowned/ | « You ’ re budget ? ? Still another apostrophe Glitch Question Marks and Quotation Marks ? What goes where ? » Was the giant renown ? Or renowned ? I always enjoy reading Leonard Pitts Jr . ' s column , and Tuesday ' s on " Americans evolving in wrong direction " was exceptionally good . He noted that most science teachers ( 60 percent ) " cheat controversy by such stratagems as telling students it does not matter if they ' believe ' in evolution , so long as they understand enough to pass a test . " He went on to tell a great story about a giant who had once been intelligent but had become stupid . Whatever your personal opinions on this subject , www . miamiherald . com / leonard_pitts / Pitts is an excellent writer , and I have never before noticed a Grammar Glitch in his column . Tuesday , however , a couple of things caught my eye and seemed worthy of comment . First , there was this sentence : Indeed , the giant was renown for an ingenuity and standard of living that made it the envy of the world . I admit I had to check several sources on this one . It did n ' t look right , but I was n ' t positive it was wrong . It turns out that RENOWN is a noun , as in " The white crystalline marble of Sylacauga , Alabama , has achieved great RENOWN . " RENOWNED is an adjective , as in " The RENOWNED marble of Sylacauga is the focus of the April festival . " Therefore , Pitts ' sentence should read this way : Indeed , the giant was renowned for an ingenuity and standard of living that made it the envy of the world . ( The adjective RENOWNED comes after the verb but still modifies the GIANT . ) My second comment has to do with parallel structure . Consider this sentence : Or they teach evolution on a par with creationism and encouraging students to make up their own minds . As written , this sentence suggests that teachers put evolution on the same level as creationism AND on the same level as encouraging students to make up their own minds . I suspect what Pitts meant was that these teachers teach both evolution and creationism and THEN encourage students to make up their own minds . Because the structure is not parallel , the sentence is misleading . The two verbs that need to be parallel are TEACH and ENCOURAGE . Therefore , the sentence should read this way : Or they teach evolution on a par with creationism and then encourage students to make up their own minds . ADDITIONAL NOTE : One of my readers has pointed out that the parallel structure of the first sentence could also be improved by inserting the word A in front of STANDARD . I agree , especially because INGENUITY takes AN while STANDARD takes A . When I checked on that , I also noticed that the pronoun IT is used to refer to the GIANT when HIM would probably be more appropriate . So here , hopefully , is a final edit of that sentence : renowned for an ingenuity and a standard of living that made him the envy of the world .

Or renowned ? ” Thom says : February 19 , 2011 at 2 : 18 pm Ironically , it looks like there may be a grammar glitch in your post as well . You say " a couple things caught my eye " where I think you should have said " a couple of things " . See for instance : http : / / languageandgrammar . com / 2008 / 01 / 31 / you - have - a - couple - of - something - not - a - couple - something / Or do you think this is optional ? admin says : February 21 , 2011 at 3 : 14 am Thanks , Thom . Good point , and I had to think about it . Although I might consider “ a couple things ” an acceptable optional use , I checked enough examples to see that the overwhelming opinion is that “ a couple of things ” is the more common usage . I will change my ways ! I hope you do n ’ t mind if I also point out that “ … it looks like there may be … ” would be more correct as “ … it looks as if there may be … ” Would you agree ? Elisabeth August 19 , 2011 at 6 : 25 pm I just found your site today after having been annoyed once too often by seeing renown used where renowned should have been . I have seen the noun used as an adjective so often that I began to question my own understanding of the usage . I am bookmarking the page and plan to tell a few friends about it . Thanks . I have frequently seen effect and affect as well as then and than interchanged lately as well . Yikes ! admin August 19 , 2011 at 9 : 14 pm Welcome , Elisabeth . I ’ m glad you found the blog and found it interesting . There has been a discussion about usage glitches on Linked In the past two weeks or so , and I plan to do a blog post about the list of usage confusion examples I found there . Stay tuned ! I agree – Yikes ! Josiah July 10 , 2012 at 11 : 41 am I ' m pleased to have found your website . As a fairly new ESL teacher , who relies a bit too much on intuition , I have been surprised at the number of mistakes to be found in ESL textbooks . The sentence that set me to the hunt was : ' First on our program is a well - renown expert in the field of … ' Also I ' m relieved to know that outside confirmation was required for yourself as well . I ' m sure I ' ll be back . Cheers July 21 , 2012 at 6 : 23 am Cheers to you , too , Josiah , and good luck with your ESL classes . Yes , I have noticed the mistakes in ESL textbooks and in websites that profess to help ESL students . Glad I can be of help , and please feel free to share examples you ’ d like to see highlighted . fd July 31 , 2012 at 4 : 58 pm You are correct on the use of " renowned " as an adjectif . In the first sentence , to maintain the parallel structure , I would say : " … an ingenuity and a standard … " August 2 , 2012 at 7 : 23 pm Thanks for your comment , fd . I agree with your point about parallel structure , especially given the fact that INGENUITY takes AN and STANDARD would take A . Your edit suggestion is a good one . Thanks for sharing . Diane West April 22 , 2014 at 4 : 31 pm In the second example stated above , a more careful emendment would be : “ Or they teach evolution on par with creationism whilst encouraging students to make up their own minds ” . In short : delete ‘ a ’ before the word par ( which is part of an adverbial phrase describing a method of teaching rather than serving as noun ) and substitute the conjunction ‘ and ’ for ‘ whilst ’ to show simultaneous rather than linear sequencing of action . The phrase ‘ and then ’ suggests the completion of one act followed by another when in reality , the acquisition and discerning of knowledge ( and the teaching / encouragement of both ) are simultaneously exercised .

http://grammarist.com/grammar/english-moods/ | Grammar English moods ( imperative , indicative , and subjunctive ) Ginger software corrected 98 % of people who misused ‘ English moods ( imperative , indicative , and subjunctive ) In a sentence , the grammatical mood conveys the speaker ’ s attitude about the state of being of what the sentence describes . This may sound a little complicated , but it ’ s simple enough : In the indicative mood , for instance , the speaker is sure that something is the case , while in the imperative mood the speaker desires that something should happen . Mood is only one of many verb properties , others being tense , aspect , and voice . It is expressed through the sentence ’ s verbs and grammatical structure . For example , a sentence that lacks a subject and begins with a present - tense verb is likely imperative , and a sentence that begins with if and uses past - tense verbs is likely subjunctive . Linguists have defined dozens of moods used in languages throughout the world , but English only uses three . Indicative mood The indicative mood is used to make factual statements , ask questions , or express opinions as if they were facts . Any verb tense may be deployed in the indicative mood . The following sentences are statements of fact or belief , so they are in the indicative mood : Advertisement I saw something today that really annoyed me . [ Vitrearum ’ s Church Art He lives most of the year in Spain but returns regularly to visit his ailing mother . [ Sydney Morning Herald Vikings will be the new vampires . [ Nile Guide Prosecutors have not said whether they will appeal the decision . [ New York Times Imperative mood A sentence in the imperative mood expresses commands or requests . It indicates that the speaker desires for the action expressed in the sentence to take place . In most imperative sentences , there ’ s an implied you . These sentences are in the imperative mood : Sit on the sofa . Let me go to bed Keep reading . Subjunctive mood The subjunctive mood is complicated .

For as long as the words photo and shoot have been commonly used together — which is only a couple of decades — the two - word form , photo shoot , has always been the more common by a large margin and remains so today . The hyphenated form , photo - shoot , began to catch on fairly early , but now that form is surpassed by photoshoot , which , as of 2013 , is fast gaining ground . In current searches of news publishers with content available online — these tend to be at the forefront of usage trends — photo shoot still appears about three times for every two instances of photoshoot Photoshoot was almost nonexistent just a decade ago , though , suggesting that English ’ s compounding impulse is working fast in this case . Advertisement Of the main parts of the English - speaking world , the U.K. is most accepting of the one - word form ; it now appears about once for every instance of photo shoot . The one - word form is still relatively rare in the U.S. , though scattered instances are easily found in edited texts of the last couple of years .

The rule for the indefinite article is that we use a before words beginning with a consonant sound , and an before words beginning with a vowel sound . The h at the beginning of historic is a consonant sound , soft though it may be . As far as we know , there are no modern English dialects in which the h in historic is silent ( please correct us if we ’ re wrong ) , so there ’ s no reason for anyone to use an instead of a before the word . The same applies with the words historical historian , and so on . They start with consonant sound , so their article is a . Examples An historic appears about a third as frequently as a historic , even in some normally well - edited publications — for example : Advertisement The very possibility of it marks an historic turning point for the entire region . [ New Republic At least one of Lord Hutton ’ s recommendations will mark an historic departure . [ Guardian And , from an historical perspective , Greece ’ s track record as a creditor is checkered . [ Wall Street Journal But in most edited writing , whether British , Australian , Canadian , or American , a historic is thankfully more common than an historic — for example : The entire five - member City Council was replaced , with a historic turnout and a whopping 95 percent of voters approving the recall . [ New York Times Maurice Manning , a historian and chancellor of the National University of Ireland who is a former Fine Gael politician , described the mood . [ Financial Times This collection puts Orchard ’ s work in a historical perspective and gives an overview of the artist ’ s career . [ Sydney Morning Herald | [

http://grammartips.homestead.com/begging.html | What Does " Begging the Question " Really Mean ? by Tina Blue August 14 , 2003 On three separate occasions over the past two weeks I have encountered a misuse of the phrase " begging the question " by people who are obviously educated and therefore could be expected to know better . Unfortunately , even an otherwise decent education no longer guarantees that a person will have been trained in logic or in the nature of logical fallacies , so the logical fallacy known as begging the question is not what most people think of when they hear that phrase . As far as I can tell from the contexts I have seen the phrase misused in , those who wield it believe it means to raise an important question with a certain amount of emphasis . It does n ' t mean that at all . I forget where I first saw this phrase misused during the last two weeks , because at the time I was n ' t thinking of it as a pattern , just as a single error . But by the second time I was sensitized to it , and also somewhat startled by who it was who misused it . It was Joseph C . Wilson , a retired US ambassador who directed a mission to Niger in 2002 that helped to discredit claims that Iraq had targeted that country as a source for uranium . Wilson wrote in an Op - Ed article in The New York Times ( 6 July 2003 ) , " A legitimate argument can be made that we went to war under false pretenses . " Then , in a Washington Post interview , Wilson added , " It really comes down to the administration misrepresenting the facts on an issue that was a fundamental justification for going to war . It begs the question , what else are they lying about ? " The third time I encountered the error was in an article about writing personal essays , in which author David A . Fryxell says , The danger of essays is that they beg the question , ' Who cares ? ' " ( Writer ' s Digest Sept 2003 : 20 ) . Begging the question does not mean to bring up the question . It means to present as true a premise that requires proof - - i.e . , taking a conclusion for granted before it is proved or assuming in the premises of your argument what is supposed to be proved in the conclusion . ( This fallacy is related to the circular argument . ) For example , when National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice asserted that we had to invade Iraq , because we did n ' t want the smoking - gun proof of their weapons of mass destruction to be a mushroom cloud over one of our cities , she was claiming as the premise of her argument the idea that the Iraqis had or were on the verge of having nuclear weapons . But whether or not they had such weapons was precisely what needed to be proved in order to justify the invasion , so it could not be itself used as proof of the need to invade to preempt their use of such When President Bush repeatedly suggested during the run - up to the invasion that Saddam Hussein , because of his hatred of the U.S. , would be likely to give weapons of mass destruction ( WMDs ) to al - Quaida , he was assuming a cooperative relationship between Hussein and al - Quaida , as well as assuming that Hussein actually did have WMDs . But what he needed to prove in order to justify the invasion was that Hussein had WMDs and / or that Hussein had a cooperative relationship with al - Quaida . Those were precisely the issues under contention , but his arguments for invasion always treated them as the premises , as if they were already proven . And when President Bush calls it " revisionist history " whenever anyone questions whether intelligence was manipulated to justify the invasion , he is also begging the question . The only way to argue that intelligence was not manipulated would be to show that it was not . Simply saying such questions are " revisionist history , " is not answering the questions , but evading them . Here is one more , less political , example : When a student accuses me of grading him unfairly because no matter how " excellent " his papers are , I never give them above a C , he is basing his argument that I grade unfairly on the unproven premise that his essays are excellent . ( You ' d be surprised at how often teachers hear just such arguments . On second thought , maybe you would n ' t be surprised at all . ) I would never just put such a student off by saying he is practicing " revisionist history . " In order to justify my grading of his papers , I would have to lay out precisely what my standards are for each grade range , and where he met or fell short of those standards . Of course , I always do that - - from the very beginning of the semester . But emotionality often gets in the way of rational analysis , and a student is likely to be so emotionally invested in the idea that he writes excellent papers that he can not accept that point as something that can be questioned at all . Thus , by definition , anyone who questions the excellence of his papers must be wrong at best , and quite possibly even malicious . Just as for President Bush , anyone who questions the way we were led to invade a small country that presented no immediate danger to us and that was in no way connected to the terrorists who had attacked us must be wrong - - and quite possibly malicious partisans to boot . So there you have it . If you want to use the phrase to beg the question , keep in mind that it refers to a logical fallacy , not merely to the act of raising a question . And if you want to keep your political representatives honest , insist that they answer legitimate questions , rather than merely begging them . | [

http://grandinetti.org/s-i-units | Home Teaching General Chemistry Lectures S . I . Units Quantities and Units In science a Quantity is expressed as the product of a number and a unit . A number without units often has no meaning to a scientist . A set of standard ( agreed upon ) units are essential not only in science , but also in commerce . The most widely accepted system of measurement in the sciences is the International System , otherwise known as S.I. Units . S.I. stands for Le Systéme International . This is also called the metric system , with which you may already be familiar . The metric system is easy to learn and use because subdivisions and multiples of base units employ only factors of 10 . Prefices indicate the size of the unit relative to a base unit . Prefix Symbol Multiple of Unit mega - M 1,000,000 or 10 6 kilo - k 1,000 or 10 3 deci - d 0.1 or 10 - 1 centi - c 0.01 or 10 - 2 milli - m 0.001 or 10 - 3 micro - μ 0.000001 or 10 - 6 nano - n 10 - 9 pico - p 10 - 12 The SI system defines seven base quantities , from which all other scientific quantities can be derived . These base quantities are length , mass , time , electric current , thermodynamic temperature , amount of substance , and luminous intensity . All other quantities can be derived from these base quantities using the equations of physics and chemistry . Let ' s look at the base units for some base and derived quantities . SI Base Quantities Length The SI base unit for length is the meter . The abbreviated symbol for meters is m . A meter is slighly longer than a yard ( i.e. , 1 m = 39.37 inches ) . Mass The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram . The abbreviated symbol for the kilogram is kg . 1 kg weighs approximately 2.2 pounds . The choice of the kilogram instead of the gram as the base unit for mass is only for historical reasons . Time The SI base unit for time is the second . The abbreviated symbol for the second is s Electric Current The SI base unit for electric current is the ampere . The abbreviated symbol for the ampere is A Amount of Substance The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole . The abbreviated symbol for the mole is mol . We will learn more about the mole later in this course . Luminous Intensity The SI base unit for luminous intensity is the candela . The abbreviated symbol for the candela is cd Thermodynamic Temperature The SI base unit for temperature is the Kelvin . The abbreviated symbol for the Kelvin is K . The coldest temperature theoretically possible is 0 K . You simply can not go any lower . In fact , it is experimentally impossible to even reach 0 K . For historical reasons it is also common to define temperature in terms of its difference from a reference temperature T 0 = 273.15 K , the freezing point of water . This is called the Celsius temperature , and the abbreviated symbol for Celsius is ° C . It is related to the Thermodynamic Temperature by the equation T ( in Celsius ) = T ( in Kelvin ) - 273.15 K On the Celsius scale the freezing point of water is set at 0 ° C , and the boiling point is 100 ° C . Thus , the coldest temperature theoretically possible is - 273.15 ° C . Warning : Celsius and fahrenheit scales are not absolute scales and their conversion is ambiguous . Without additional information one can not know if a value in celsius or fahrenheit should be interpreted as an absolute temperature or a temperature difference . That is , for any calculation involving ΔT you can use celsius and fahrenheit without problems , such as the heat calculated from a heat capacity and a temperature change , q = C ΔT . On the other hand , celsius and fahrenheit are not appropriate in any calculation requiring an absolute temperature , such as the ideal gas To give you some other reference points : System Temperature Sun ' s Interior ( thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium ) 8 K Sun ' s Surface 6000 K Earth ' s Core 4600 K Liquid N 2 ( boiling pt . ) 77 K Liquid He ( boiling pt . ) 4.2 K Temperature : Unusual Temperature Scales and Interconversions : Some SI Derived Quantities Volume Volume is a derived quantity and has the dimensions of length 3 . Thus , the SI unit for volume is the cubic meter which has the abbreviated symbol . In practice , the cubic meter is not a convenient unit for everyday use , so the cubic decimeter ( dm ) is used instead . Because it is so often used 1 dm is given the name liter . The abbreviated symbol for a liter is L or l 1 liter = 1 dm When working with even smaller volumes the cubic centimeter is more commonly used . Since 1 L = 1 dm = ( 10 cm ) ( 10 cm ) ( 10 cm ) = 1000 cm we often use 1 mL ( mL is the symbol for milliliter ) in place of 1 cm . You will sometimes see a mL called a cc , which stands for cubic centimeter . Pressure Pressure is a derived quantity and has the dimensions of mass / ( length • time 2 ) . The SI unit for pressure is kg / ( m • s ) . This product of base units is given the name pascal and the symbol Pa 1 Pa = 1 kg / ( m • s Energy Energy is a derived quantity and has the dimensions of mass / ( length • time ) . The SI unit for energy is kg / ( m • s ) . This product of base units is given the name joule and the symbol J 1 J = 1 kg / ( m • s Electric Charge Electric Charge is a derived quantity and has the dimensions of current • time . The SI unit for electric charge is A • s . This product of base units is given the name coulomb C 1 C = 1 A • s Comparison of Metric Units : Metric Units in Two and Three Dimensions : Metric Interconversions - Medical Applications : Metric Conversions - Water on Earth and Contents : Metric Conversions - Pollution Problems : Metric Conversions - Atomic Dimensions : Metric - english Conversion Factors : English - metric Conversions - Two and Three Dimensions : Volume Determination by Dimensions of Objects Using the Metric System : Density Density is a derived quantity and has the dimensions of mass / length , and is defined as the mass per unit volume . density = mass / volume The S.I. units for density are kg / m , but these are not very convenient units for everyday use . More common units are g / cm for solids g / ml for liquids g / L for gases If we know the mass and volume of a sample , then we can calculate its density . A cube of lead 3.00 cm on a side has a mass of 305.0 g . What is the density of lead ? To answer this question we need to put the mass and volume of the sample into the equation above . The mass of lead is given at 305.0 g . Although we are not given the volume directly , we do know that the sample is a cube ( i.e. , all sides of equal length ) , and that length of a side is 3.00 cm . The volume of this cube would be Volume = ( 3.00 cm ) = 27.0 cm Thus , the density of the cube of lead is density = mass / volume = 305.0 g / 27.0 cm = 11.3 g / cm . Notice that the density is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample .

http://graphicdesign.about.com/od/careerpaths/a/branding.htm | How To Software Graphic Designers and Branding for Businesses A successful brand requires consistency by Eric Miller Updated November 19 , 2018 Every business builds a brand . It is their corporate identity that allows them to stand out from their competitors and relate to their customer base . Graphic designers may wish to specialize in branding or work for a firm that does so . What does this type of design work entail and what do you need to know about it ? Let ' s look at the basics of branding work . How Graphic Designers Work in Branding To create a brand for a company is to create their image and to promote that image with campaigns and visuals . Working in branding allows a graphic designer or design firm to get involved with many aspects of the industry , from logo design to advertising to copywriting and slogans . The goal of a brand is to make a company unique and recognizable and to project the desired image that the company wishes to portray . Over time , a brand can make a company a household name and identifiable by a simple shape or color . To create a brand for a company , a designer needs to fully understand the goals of the organization and the industry as a whole . This research and base knowledge can be used to work with designs to create the appropriate materials to represent that company . Type of Work As a graphic designer working in branding , the work you will do may be different than that of other designers . It is a specialty within this field that requires a broader focus as you may not simply be designing websites or brochures , but instead working on an entire campaign and ensuring the consistent message reaches the various media . You may be asked to work on any of the following elements of a branding campaign : Logo design Business card design Letterhead design Packaging Copywriting Writing slogans Advertising design Typeface design Research Marketing If you are working with a design firm , you might handle only certain aspects of these branding projects . However , you will likely be part of a team and it is crucial that you understand each aspect in order to effectively communicate and build the cohesive brand with your co - workers . Examples of Branding Examples of branding are all around us . The NBC peacock , the UPS brown truck , and Nike ’ s " Just Do It ” are some of the most famous examples . They are so recognizable that we do n ’ t need to hear a company name to know what they are referring to . Online brands such as Facebook , Instagram , and YouTube are more recently developed but are now just as recognizable . Quite often , we know these websites from an icon alone because the colors and graphics are everywhere and familiar . We know exactly which website we ' re going to , even in the absence of text . Apple is another perfect example of great branding . When we see the company ' s signature apple logo , we know that it is referring to an Apple product . Also , the use of the lower case ' i ' in front of almost every Apple product ( e.g. , iPhone , iPad , iPod ) is a branding technique that has set these apart from their competitors . Logos on your favorite products , the packaging they come in , and the slogans that represent them are all examples of branding . Through consistent use of each of these elements , the branding team can successfully develop a campaign that instantly resonates with consumers . Continue Reading | [

I am attempting to make a part that looks like this : The only way I have been able to do this so far is by doing a contour roll to get the rounded part and then add the flanges on as part of an assembly . I have attempted to do it as one Sheet Metal piece but I continually run into the problem where I can not refold the part once I have the flanges . Here are the steps I have gone through : 1 . Created a contour roll to the necessary angle to get my desired dimensions 2 . Unfolded the roll 3 . Created my hole pattern 4 . Folded back the flanges This is where I got stuck . I attempted to refold the part between the bends but it will not let me do this . If I have one flange , I am able to refold but not when I have 2 .

Make your images shine with the right graphics program by Sue Chastain Updated January 21 , 2019 40 Graphics software creates , edits , and manages two - dimensional images . These computer graphics may be clip art , web graphics , logos , headings , backgrounds , digital photos , or other kinds of digital images . Common Applications Common graphics editors include Photoshop Illustrator , Paint Shop Pro , CorelDRAW , The Apple Photos plugins from Macphun , Adobe Lightroom , Digital Image Suite , Canva , and related programs . What Is n ' t Graphics Software ? Software that people think of as graphics software , but is n ' t , include programs that do n ' t directly manipulate individual images . Page layout software such as InDesign , QuarkXpress , and Publisher fall into that category . Likewise , presentation software such as PowerPoint or Apple Keynote is n ' t graphics programs . And in general , home publishing or creative printing software does n ' t rise to the occasion , either . What Are the Types of Graphics Software ? The two main categories of graphics programs are pixel - based image editors and vector - based image editors . In a nutshell , an image is either comprised of a series of small dots ( pixels ) or a series of commands about how to draw an image ( vectors ) . You ' ll know the difference between pixel - and vector - based images by zooming on them . If they zoom very close without appearing fuzzy and blotchy , you ' re working with a vector image . Some of the categories of specialized tools for managing graphics include : Image Management Software Image Viewers Batch Processing Tools Web and Animation Software Diagramming Software What Is Graphics Software Used For ? Some of the common things people use graphics software for include editing and sharing digital photos , creating logos , drawing and modifying clip art , creating digital fine art , creating web graphics , designing advertisements and product packaging , touching up scanned photos , and drawing maps or other diagrams .

http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/digitalimaging/f/howreducesize.htm | How To Software How Do I Reduce Photo Size for Online Use ? Reduce Picture Size so Photos Will Load Faster on Web Pages Sue Chastain by Sue Chastain Updated January 03 , 2019 Pictures that are too big wo n ' t load quickly on web pages , and users are more likely to leave your pages if the images wo n ' t load . But how do you make a picture smaller without losing details ? This article walks you through the process . How to Reduce Picture Size Before resizing your image for the web , you need to crop the picture to remove any unnecessary portions of the picture . After cropping , you can change the overall pixel dimensions to go even smaller . All photo editing software will have a command for changing the pixel dimensions of an image . Look for a command called Image Size Resize , or Resample . When you use one of these commands you will be presented with a dialog box for entering the exact pixels you wish to use . Other options you may find in the dialog are : Resample : If the image is shot with a DSLR the odds are pretty good that it has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch ( ppi ) . If this is the case reduce the value to 72 or 100 and the physical dimension of the image will also reduce . You never increase the value when using an image on the web . Constrain proportions or keep aspect ratio : You want this option enabled . In Photoshop click the option to link the width and height values . It prevents the image from being stretched and distorted . When this option is enabled , you only need to enter one value – height or width – and the other value will adjust automatically . Change the resolution value : Before changing the width and height values , change the resolution to a lower number – called downsampling . This also reduces the width and height values , so changing those value before downsampling could make the image smaller than you intend for it to be . File Format Is Key Online images are usually in the .jpg or .png formats . The .png format is a bit more accurate than the .jpg format but .png files also tend to have a slightly higher file size . If the image contains transparency then you need to use the .png format and be sure you select the Transparency option . JPG images are regarded as lossy . The loose explanation is that they are so small because areas of contiguous color are grouped into a single area reducing the need to remember the color of each pixel in the image . The amount of compression is determined through the use of a Quality Slider in Photoshop . The values range between 0 and 12 meaning the lower the number , the lower the file size and the more information that is lost . A value of 8 or 9 is common for images destined for the web . If you are a Sketch 3 user , you get to set the Quality when you click the Export button in the Properties panel . You will be presented with a Quality slider that ranges from 0 to 100 % . A common Quality value is 80 % . When choosing the compression level , keep quality in the medium to high range to avoid compression artifacts . Never recompress a jpg image . If you have received an already - compressed jpg image , set its quality to 12 in Photoshop or 100 % in Sketch 3 . If the image is small or contains solid colors consider the use of a GIF image . This is especially useful for single color logos or graphics containing no shades of color . The advantage here is the ability to reduce the number of colors in the color palette which has a major effect on file size . Never Resize and Overwrite Your Original File After sizing the image , be sure to do a Save As so you do n ' t overwrite your original , high - resolution file . here are a couple of tips : You want to shoot for a file size of 50 to 250 KB per image . Go small if you will be putting several files on the same page or sending them in one email . Try not to exceed 1000 KB per Web page for the total of all images . This may sound like a time - consuming process , especially if you have a lot of photos to share , but fortunately , most of today ' s software has made it easy to size and compress a batch of photos very quickly . Most image management and some photo editing software have an " email photos " command that will resize and compress the images for you . Some software can even resize , compress , and generate complete photo galleries for posting on the Web . And there are specialized tools for both of these tasks – many of them free software . Batch Resizing Images Batch sizing works a little differently depending on whether you are using a resource like Photoshop Elements Picasa , or XnView Continue Reading | [

http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/screencapture/qt/screen-shot-ipod-iphone.htm | How To iPad How to Capture an iPad Screenshot Daniel Nations by Daniel Nations Updated March 10 , 2019 There are any number of reasons why you might want to capture a shot of the iPad ' s screen . Perhaps you want to save your cool drawing in Draw Something ? Or perhaps you want to brag about your score in Candy Crush Saga ? Or maybe you just thought of a cool meme ? The iPad does n ' t have a print screen button , but it is still amazingly easy to capture a screenshot of the iPad ' s display . First , hold down the iPad Home Button . This is the round button below the screen . Keep holding it down until you complete step # 2 . While holding down the home button , press the Sleep / Wake button on the top - right rim of the iPad . When you hold the home button and the sleep / wake button at the same time , the iPad will capture an image of the screen . You will see a flash on your screen signaling the iPad ' s screen was captured . Where Does the Screenshot Go ? Once you ' ve captured the screen , you can find the image within the Photos app . The screen ' s image is saved in the same place any picture you take with the iPad ' s camera . Once you launch the Photos app , you can find the image in the " Albums " section under " Camera Roll " or in the " Screenshots " album , which is automatically created after you capture your first screenshot . How to Share the Screenshot With Friends and Family There are a number of ways you can send the image of your screen to your friends . You can text the image , send it in an email message or simply post it on Facebook . First , launch the Photos app and find the screenshot . As mentioned above , the screenshot will be in the Camera Roll album and in the Screenshots album . When you find the screenshot , tap on it to select it . With the screenshot selected , tap the Share button . This is the button at the top of the screen that looks like a square with an arrow sticking out the top . After you tap the Share button , some options will show up on the screen . You can send the screenshot as a text message , in an email message or save to iCloud Photo Sharing . You can also share the photo to Twitter or Facebook . On the second row of buttons , you will have the option to Print the screenshot . What Are Some Good Uses For Screenshots ? Capture a Photo From the Web . You can download many photos from the web by tapping your finger on the photo and holding it down until a menu appears with a download option . However , not every image on the web will allow you to use this trick . Even if you ca n ' t download the image , you can still take a screenshot of it to get it into your camera roll . Use the pinch - to - zoom gesture to zoom in on the image until it looks full screen on your iPad before snapping the screenshot . Capture a Photo From an App . The same trick will also work in apps . The screenshot function is a feature of the iPad , not a feature within an app , so it will work on all apps . So no matter if you are on Instagram or Facebook or any other app , you can always take a screenshot . Save a Tweet or Facebook Update for Posterity . Have you ever come across a status update and were fairly certain the author would delete it in the future ? The screenshot function is a great way to save a record of a status updates whether it is Twitter , Instagram Tumblr or any other social media platform . Create a Funny Background Image for the Lock Screen . This one is actually a good prank to play on someone . First , you take a screenshot of the Home Screen of the iPad with all of the app icons . Next , you set that image as the background of the Lock Screen in the iPad ' s Settings . When the owner of the iPad picks it up , they ' ll see all of the icons , and unless they look closely , they will assume it is unlocked . Remember , it ' s good form to let them in on the joke after they ' ve tapped a few icons and complained about the iPad not working correctly . Continue Reading | [

http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/best-subaru-engine-to-build/47790/page1/ | All forums Latest topics Leaderboard Login to post Forums Grassroots Motorsports Best Subaru Engine to build 1 2 FlightService SuperDork 4 / 2 / 12 7 : 30 a.m . Ca n ' t say it any plainer ! What is the best Subaru engine for a performance build and why ? modernbeat Dork 4 / 2 / 12 7 : 54 a.m . Depends on what your goals are . Do you want a NA or turbo engine . Is this for a performance street car , extremely high boost drag car , torquey rally car , or peaky race car ? sachilles UltraDork 4 / 2 / 12 8 : 14 a.m . most common is an ej257 . Though if it ' s going in a non subaru ( ie you have more engine bay room to work with ) The newer 6 cylinder built to turbo spec can be quite mean , the trick is getting the engine management to work correctly . NGTD UltraDork 4 / 2 / 12 8 : 21 a.m . The old 2.2L Turbo from a 91 - 94 Legacy Turbo - closed deck , will take more boost than the newer open deck motors . Apparently you add a crank from a 2.5L and you get a 2.35L Hybrid that can take some serious boost ! RossD 4 / 2 / 12 8 : 41 a.m . Are the sixers just two cylinders added onto one of the 4 banger ? octavious New Reader 4 / 2 / 12 9 : 23 a.m . RossD said : Are the sixers just two cylinders added onto one of the 4 banger ? I ' m sure others with more knowledge will post up , but one of the main differences between the H4 and the H6 is that the H4 uses timing belts , while the H6 uses timing chains . As for other differences I ' ll let the Subaru experts speak up . I ' m pretty new to the Subie world . sachilles 4 / 2 / 12 9 : 25 a.m . In reply to RossD : In essence yes . The 3.3 is basically the 2.2 with two extra cylinders . The 3.0 is basically the 2.0 with extra cylinders . The 3.6 is a little more unique has it ' s rods are sort of a funky shape . The newer 6 cylinders have some electronics that the 4 cylinders do n ' t have , which has taken the opensource tuning crowd a little more effort to figure out . FlightService SuperDork 4 / 2 / 12 9 : 29 a.m . I have a 2.5 from a 02 Forester that had a piston come apart . I was gonna sleeve it and build it out . Then I realized that would be very expensive and a non - locked Junkyard motor would be a cheaper route . Flat torque curve , revvy . boost OK NA OK . Not gonna be a Boost beast though . I want faster throttle response . Thanks Ojala Reader 4 / 2 / 12 10 : 21 a.m . In reply to FlightService : The six cylinder Subarus : EG33 , EZ30 , and EZ36 are great engines to install and leave alone . I wouldnt build them up without expecting on spending a lot of time , money , or both . The support and performance parts for the SOHC 3 valve EZ engines are just not readily available . I love the EG33 but it just isnt easy to find . The SOHC ej251 from your Forester wouldnt be my first choice to build either . The head gaskets suck . You can find a few ej255s in the junk yard but you will have better luck trolling Nasioc in the part out sectioin . Unfortunately junk yard engines mostly tend to be the SOHC EJ251 you mentioned . EJ22 turbo engines are not common , can be more expensive , and I have not seen that the closed deck offers an advantage . If it is going into a Subaru I would build an EJ257 . Or if you dont have the money an EJ255 would be fine . Even without " building " though you can get good power from one of those engines with just a few bolt - ons . If its not going to go into a Subaru I would get one of the twin turbo EJ208s or similar engines . They are dirt cheap because they are a huge pain to use in a LHD Subaru so nobody wants them . DaveEstey Dork 4 / 2 / 12 11 : 55 a.m . I do n ' t think any Subaru engine is " Revvy , " nor do I think any of them are particularly good without boost . I think the EJ257 is the only way to go really , but make sure you put in a new oil pickup while you have it apart . Nothing like a cracked pickup to ruin you day ( and engine ) . njansenv 4 / 2 / 12 12 : 55 p.m . I had a V4 STI 2.0 engine ( EJ20k ) in a Subaru Brighton . It was , most definitely , revvy . . .and hit 8k rpms with vigor . It was n ' t especially thrilling below 4k ( thanks in part to a leaking downpipe ) , but throttle response was fantastic , the sound was great . . .and when boost built it was incredible fun . DaveEstey 4 / 2 / 12 1 : 00 p.m . He ' s not going to find one of those in a junkyard though is he . Taiden 4 / 2 / 12 1 : 01 p.m . The eg33 is quite " revvy " , from my understanding icaneat50eggs Reader 4 / 2 / 12 1 : 16 p.m . Bang for your buck the previously mentioned jdm twin turbos are hard to beat . Nice seen them around 475 ' bucks before 4 / 2 / 12 1 : 23 p.m . he is n ' t going to find an ej20k in a us junk yard , and likely wo n ' t find an ej257 there either . At best you are going to find some rebuildable blocks . If you want turbo , you ' ll find usdm EJ20 ' s for much cheaper than ej255 or ej257 cores . Building a naturally aspirated subie motor is not all that cost effective , but a used power plant with a mild cam upgrade can be lively enough in the lighter bodied subarus . A turbo motor means a different 4 / 2 / 12 4 : 15 p.m . I have acess in Japan so . . . Nathan JansenvanDoorn 4 / 2 / 12 4 : 21 p.m . DaveEstey wrote : He ' s not going to find one of those in a junkyard though is he . No need to be snippy , he asked for the best engine for a Subaru build and did n ' t say it had to be a junkyard build . You stated that no Subaru engines are revvy . Max_Archer New Reader 4 / 2 / 12 4 : 49 p.m . I like the EJ20 quite a bit . I ' ve always felt like it ' s the best swap option simply because of the huge aftermarket it enjoys as a result of having been the STi motor for so long in Japan . Plus , you can get one from an older STi and bolt it into a newer car , if you need to , and they ' re still plenty powerful to have fun with . corytate 4 / 2 / 12 7 : 16 p.m . imo : NA : the older dohc 2.5 impreza rs engine turbo : you cant really beat the new sti 2.5 setup and it comes with the good tranny too . expect to shell out some bucks for either though , esp the sti engine Jazracing 8 / 20 / 14 3 : 47 p.m . sachilles wrote : In reply to RossD : In essence yes .

http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/how-long-should-a-bank-deposit-take-to-show-up/71047/page1/ | All forums Latest topics Leaderboard Login to post Forums Off - Topic Discussion How long should a bank deposit take to show up ? 1 2 poopshovel MegaDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 11 a.m . So I make a deposit into my personal savings account at 9 : 00 last Saturday morning . Monday morning , I check the account . The money ' s not there . Check again at noon . Then at around 3 : 00 . Still not there . So I call the bank . The chick tells me " Well , the Federal Reserve is closed on Saturday blah blah blah . " Um . So ? ? ? Then she tells me that deposits usually take at least 24 hours to show up . Money did n ' t show up until around noon on Tuesday . I make another deposit this morning at 9 : 00 AM . That money has n ' t shown up yet . Is this normal ? ? ? I thought the standard was " Deposits made AFTER 2PM may not show up until the next business day . " Or maybe I ' ve got that wrong . Swank Force One MegaDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 14 a.m . Really depends on the bank , but it does sound like you ' re getting somewhat berkeleyed . 1988RedT2 UberDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 15 a.m . It ' s a plot , see . The bank takes your money and invests it . Then , hours later , they sell the investment , pocket the profit , and put the money in your account . It helps banks keep their fees low . mikeatrpi Reader 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 17 a.m . What sort of deposit are you making ? Cash , payroll , personal check . . . ? I ' ve seen delays when they have to go out and verify funds while a cash deposit is instantly available . davidjs Reader 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 18 a.m . How large was the deposit ? How was it deposited ? What was it ? ( Cash / check ? ) Google " { your bank name here } fund availability policy " for the exact conditions on your account . For the weekend deposit , Tuesday is the " next business day " after the deposit . The0retical HalfDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 35 a.m . General rule of thumb in my experience : Cash : Immediately available Check : Up to $ 100 available immediately . The remainder is available after 2 processing periods ( whenever the markets usually open then right after they close 18 to 24 hours ) That thread on banks we had a day or two ago and you posting this reminded me why I dumped Wells Fargo . They ' d hold checks for days before finally allowing me access often berkeleying me into an overdraft fee when I was broke and college age . Also what Swank said . mtn UltimaDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 47 a.m . A lot of variables here . Cash deposit is immediate . Check deposit is immediate IF you have the funds to cover the check in your account . ( Or you can go cash it at the bank from which it was written , then deposit the cash to your account ) . If not , it can take a few days - - say a day for the bank to verify the funds , and another day to post it . Online transfers seem to vary bank to bank . Going from Fidelity to Chase takes 4 - 5 business days for me every time . The other way around is only 2 - 3 days . mtn UltimaDork 9 / 20 / 13 11 : 48 a.m . Oh , and if I expect a check to bounce ( i.e. paycheck from a shady hockey team ) , I take it to the bank it was written from . That way I do n ' t get the charge , have cash in my hand , and can deposit it immediately to MY bank . Or my stomach in the form of beer . Duke PowerDork 9 / 20 / 13 12 : 18 p.m . You wanna hear something to piss you off ? Buying a car . Walked into my bank and got a cashier ' s check for $ 5000 . Teller had the branch manager come over and explain that this was just like cash , instantly gone from my account as soon as they printed it , etc . etc . etc . Got , fine , no problem . Did n ' t buy the car after all . Went back to the bank next day to re - deposit the check . Same teller , same manager . Filled out the deposit slip and the teller says " this will take 5 days to clear before it shows up in your account . " I almost asked for all my money , in cash , right then . Almost . Gave the manager an earful , that ' s for sure . Jerry From LA Dork 9 / 20 / 13 12 : 26 p.m . If you deposit funds in an ATM over the weekend , they do n ' t pull the checks out of the machine until Monday night . That ' s why it showed up around noon on Tuesday . I always go to the teller if possible . The check will post sooner . If you did see the teller on Saturday , they put a hold on it for some reason . SCARR 9 / 20 / 13 12 : 28 p.m . It does depend on the bank . I can make a check deposit with my phone ( take pictures of the check . . never even need to mail it in ) and they are available . . . NOW . same with transferring between accounts . But I am rocking a credit union . driver109x HalfDork 9 / 20 / 13 2 : 45 p.m . AFAIK . . . any activity on your account on a weekend do n ' t usually clear till Tues . RX Reven ' 9 / 20 / 13 3 : 09 p.m . … also , in the case of checks , they take longer ( say two days ) if they ’ re out of state . Before the conspiracy theories escalate from improbable to put the crack pipe down , one of the reasons for the hold is to prevent kitting . If you do n ’ t know , this is a scam based on exploiting the time delay between crediting funds to the recipient and drawing them from the issuer .

Now banks are charging people for cashing check at the bank check was written from . An example is that BOA charges $ 5 for this . poopshovel 9 / 20 / 13 3 : 34 p.m . Okay . Think I got it . FWIW , Saturday was a check from the business ( which I have at a different bank ) for a little over a grand , which I made with the teller ( not ATM . ) This morning was ~ $ 400 in checks , also from the business to me . Plenty of $ $ $ at the other bank to cover , but I guess since it ' s at the " other bank " they would need to verify that the funds are there . Just seemed weird . I do n ' t recall ever making a deposit and not seeing the $ $ $ there until Tuesday . . .then again , I usually keep enough cash in the personal account that it does n ' t matter , and I ' ve been forgetting that I need to make the money go in before I take it out lately . Durp . This is a local yokel small town bank btw . I do n ' t berkeley around with the big boys . 9 / 20 / 13 3 : 49 p.m .

FWIW , not all big banks are bad . I work for one that I happily recommend to a lot of people , although it is much different from most big banks .

BOA is the devil . Why anybody still deals with them , I will never know . One of the casinos I work for deals with Wells Fargo . the few times I have cashed a cheque there ( rather than just depositing it in my account at my bank ) I have gotten to hear their speach on how I should open an account there . Really makes me - not - want to open an account there Appleseed 9 / 20 / 13 5 : 27 p.m . BOA and Chase are interchangeable . Basil Exposition 9 / 20 / 13 5 : 50 p.m . BOA hates small consumers . And small businesses . And businesses that they believe are in a declining industry . If your industry is in ascension ( and you need at least $ 15 million ) they will hit you with the lowest rate loans and lots of attention . But as soon as the bloom is off the rose , they will berkeley your ass quick . They are notorious for this . As far as deposits of checks go , like virtually everything else in banking , the government tells the banks what to do . It used to be up to the banks to set them , but uninformed consumers complained and the banks were given a range . Of course , every bank set it to the max in that range and now there is n ' t any real distinction or competition between any of them in that regard . Once Dodd - Frank gets fully implemented you ' ll find even fewer differences between banks . In fact The_Jed SuperDork 9 / 20 / 13 6 : 14 p.m .

We were selling stock back in the day when they cut you a check for it . The bank had 15 business day holds on deposits over a certain amount . It did n ' t matter if the money had cleared from the incoming bank , they would n ' t release it for three berkeleying weeks . I talked to managers . I talked to the managers of managers . They would n ' t budge . We left . Streetwiseguy UberDork 9 / 20 / 13 10 : 29 p.m . Banks take money out of your account 24 / 7 . They put money into your account at their convenience . Such is life , and there is berkeleyall you can do about it . MrJoshua PowerDork 9 / 20 / 13 10 : 36 p.m . Lots of local bank offices are no more powerful than a locked box with a slot in it . Everything they take in is delivered to a central office at the end of the day where it is reviewed by another human who starts the actual process of dealing with the deposit . 1 2 You ' ll need to log in to post .

Diet is usually a word used for , and by people who are overweight . This is not the typical case here though . People with Graves ’ disease and hyperthyroidism , or overactive thyroid , usually do n ’ t have these types of problems , I mean gaining weight . Quite the opposite , one of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism ( induced to whatever reason ) is the uncontrollable weight loss . People with hyperthyroidism are usually skinny , with high metabolism , increased appetite and overactive in general . Practically , they are almost always hungry . At least I was when I had hyperthyroidism . My colleagues at work were shocked how much food I can eat during my lunch break , but thought I am really lucky for not gaining weight at all . I did not have the same opinion , though , knowing how I feel . Many hyperthyroidism patients recently report exactly the opposite - gaining weight . Hyperthyroidism weight gain is not so untypical today . It is logical to lose weight if you have hyperthyroidism , because the whole metabolism is accelerated and all the body processes speed up due to excessive release of thyroid hormone in the blood . Why then many people gain weight instead ? Listen to this : “ Hi , just wanted to find out what do you think about weight gain . When I first found out that I had a hyperthyroid I weighed 120 lbs . Now , after about a year I ca n ’ t seem to loose any weight . I am up to 150 and I am sick of gaining more even though I work out like crazy . Does n ’ t seem fair and I need some advice please ! ” “ I have steadily been gaining weight . I thought it was the beta - blockers I was on , so I greatly decreased how much I was taking . I still seem to be gaining weight and it is depressing . I ’ m tired all the time to begin with , but the weight gain is just too much to deal with on top of everything else . I ’ ve already suffered a miscarriage due to the hyperthyroidism and it ’ s taking forever to get any help . ” “ Clearly , weight gain is a big problem for those who are hyper . I was diagnosed with Graves 3 years ago . My weight was stable until my methimazole ( tapazole ) was increased to 20 mg … then I gained 30 lbs in two months and have never been able to lose it ( even started a three month low - cal , healthy diet and personal trainer - NOTHING came off ! ” The traditional medicine keeps a silence on this question , as it can not find any logical explanation . There are a few possible reasons for that phenomenon though : The clinical picture of the hyperthyroidism condition has changed . Clinical picture pertains to the most typical symptoms , according which the medical authorities determine their diagnosis . For example , the classical clinical picture of celiac disease , which includes persistent diarrhea , has changed recently . Graves ’ disease symptoms also can alternate ; initially the patient can be diagnosed with certain symptoms that may change over time , become more or less severe , or new symptoms to be added and others to disappear . It is well known that the appetite of hyperthyroid patients increase dramatically and they eat more than usual . The problem is with the content and the quality of the consumed foods . If a decade ago the foods were not so genetically modified and very close to “ natural ” or “ organic ” they can be easily discharged from the body , due to the increased metabolism . But in the past years it is well known that we consume foods that have no nutrients and are genetically modified ; they also contain a lot of processed sugars and artificial coloring . The body , unrecognizing these materials as food , may stock them , as it does with the aspartame . They are stored in the body , regardless of Medication : patients who are treated with medication ( PTU or Methimazole ) , but still reported and considered hyperthyroid , may be affected with this symptom because pretty much any anti - thyroid medication slows down the metabolism and blocks the thyroid hormone production . To some crazy reason some doctors will keep their patients on anti - thyroid medication regardless of the fact that their thyroid tests are reading “ normal ” or even “ hypo ” . Probably , just in case ? Hyperthyroidism can increase cortisol levels and make you gain weight , and this is another possible explanation , but if this is true , nobody can say for sure . Regardless of the reason , these are my short and simple suggestions to control your weight : 1 . Eat HEALTHY so you can help the symptomatology of hyperthyroidism or Grave ’ s Disease . Try the so called “ elimination diet ” , or gluten free diet for that matter . Gluten seems to be an important contributing factor for autoimmune disorders . 2 . Use probiotics , they are known to improve the “ good bacteria ” in intestines and help the elimination of substances that no longer need to stay there . 3 . Consume a lot of fibers , or foods containing fiber . 4 . Try eating sprouts , they are the best source for vitamins and minerals . 5 . Drink plenty of water and herbal teas . 6 . Eat less meat , more green leafy vegetables ( I am not saying you have to become vegetarian ) . 7 . Stay positive ! Regardless if you believe it or not , your psychological condition has a lot to do with how you feel . It ’ s not a secret that people who feel depressed eat more . And people with autoimmune disorders like Graves ’ disease or Hashimoto ’ s often feel that way because they often feel helpless . Do you have any experience about this problem ? What makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad , or loose / gain weight ? Share your thoughts with us : it may help other people as well .

http://gravimotion.info/Physics_seven_basic_quantities.php | Physics seven basic quantities Please forgive , when awkward , the English of this page . English is not the author ' s native language . Average Reading Time : less than 3 min The international system of units Or Physics seven ( 7 ) Basic quantities The ' INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS ' , abbreviated SI , defines the seven quantities listed in the left box below and the specific methods to build up a physical standard for each , called the unit , against which any other quantity of the same type can be compared . Fundamental Quantities Length ( meter ) Mass ( kilogram ) Time ( second ) Electric current ( ampere ) Thermodynamic temperature ( kelvin ) Amount of substance ( mole ) Luminous intensity ( candela ) These quantities are considered to be the building blocks of physics . They are used to express the laws of physics . Derived Quantities Many other quantities can be derived out of the combination of the basic quantities . For instance a speed is the ratio of a length by a time . Acceleration is the ratio of a speed by a time . And a force is the multiplication of acceleration by mass . Because physics expresses everything in the Universe in terms of these basic quantities , one concludes for oneself that in physics there are no other basic quantities than those of this SI unit system . Physics incoherencies Surprisingly , even though there can be no other basic quantities in the real world , other major systems of units have been established in the world of physics ' mathematics , ( that is in our human minds ) with conversion factors to the SI units . Think about it ! How could the universe be based on the SI set of quantities and on other differing basic quantities altogether ? Also , in quantum mechanics , besides space and time , only particles ( quarks , electrons , etc . . . ) and four forces exist ! Is Force a Fundamental or a Derived Quantity ? How is this quantum mechanics ' fundamental concept of force ( a pillar of the theory ) getting along with the SI quantities , in which it does n ' t even appear ? As shown above , in the BOX : " Derived Quantities " a force is only a mental byproduct of a series of other mental concepts that of speed and acceleration all mathematically derived from length , time and mass . Is force a fundamental constituent of the universe as asserted in the quantum theory , or is force a derived quantity of length , time and mass ? Should the concept of force be backed by a real entity as suggested by the quantum theory , the concepts of time , length and mass would then have no physical collateral and only be ideas within our human minds . Gravimotion ' s interpretation of Nature Solutions to physics dilemmas are bound to appear though . Whether it is the solution or not , gravimotion ' s interpretation of Nature has the merit to confront head - on many of physics dilemmas and to propose in all cases simple logical solutions . While departing greatly from conventional thinking , gravimotion image of reality is nevertheless in accordance with physics mathematics . The goal of gravimotion is not to challenge physics mathematical theories . Gravimotion ' s ultimate goal instead is to unveil the physical consistency behind physics ' equations and experiments . . . Gravimotion ' s main accomplishment : Click : A unified interpretation of the Universe And here is a spectacular interpretation of entanglement , which while respecting Quantum Mechanics statistics , is in agreement with Einstein ' s ( that is EPR ' s ) mathematics : Click : Quantum Mechanics Explicit Interpretation for Everybody | [

Soos even brings up the question of how the name is meant to be said . This is in reference to the long - standing debate on the pronunciation of " .gif . " .GIFfany is a " yandere , " a character archetype ( associated with anime and manga ) that starts off innocent but eventually becomes increasingly possessive to a person they care about , much to the point in attacking anyone else who they believe will take them away .

Some of her original designs had features with some similarities to Bill Cipher , such as a bow tie with an eye .

Let ' s assume that the price of crude oil is $ 37.00 per barrel . At 19.5 gallons of gasoline per barrel , this means that a gallon of gasoline in its crude oil form costs $ 1.90 . Yet , when I pump it into my car , I ' m currently paying $ 1.76 per gallon . This means that the gasoline is losing 14 cents per gallon in value when going from ground to gas pump .

When the summer comes to an end , Sandy — who is going back to Australia — frets that they may never meet again , but Danny tells her that their love is " only the beginning " . The film moves to the start of the seniors ' term at Rydell High School . Danny , a greaser , is a member of the T - Birds , consisting of his best friend Kenickie Doody Sonny , and Putzie . The Pink Ladies also arrive , consisting of Rizzo Frenchy Marty Jan . After her parents decided not to return to Australia , Sandy enrolls at Rydell and befriends Frenchy , who considers dropping out of school to become a beautician . Oblivious to each other ' s presence at school , Danny and Sandy tell their respective groups the accounts of events during the pair ' s brief romance . Upon learning Danny is Sandy ' s sweetheart , Rizzo arranges for the two to reunite , but Danny is forced to maintain his bad - boy attitude in front of his pals , upsetting Sandy . Frenchy invites the girls to a pajama party , but Sandy falls ill from trying a cigarette and drinking . The T - Birds almost crash the party in Kenickie ' s Greased Lightning car , but a guilty Danny leaves , followed by Rizzo , who departs to make out with Kenickie , who is actually her boyfriend . The two are The school dance arrives , broadcast live on television and hosted by DJ Vince Fontaine , who flirts with Marty . Rizzo and Kenickie attempt to spite one another by bringing Leo and Cha - Cha as their dates , while Danny and Sandy come together .

She appeared in the 1970 film Toomorrow , a science fiction musical that predated her initial chart success with 1971 ' s " If Not for You " . Cast with Newton - John and three male leads in an attempt by Don Kirshner to create another Monkees , the film was never released commercially . This led Newton - John to demand a screen test for to avoid another career setback . The screen test was done with the drive - in movie scene . Henry Winkler was once considered for a lead in the film . Winkler , who was playing Fonzie on Happy Days , was originally chosen to play Danny , but having twice already played similarly leather - clad 1950s hoods in 1974 ' s The Lords of Flatbush as well as Happy Days , turned down the role for fear of being typecast , so actor John Travolta ( who had recently completed Saturday Night Fever ) , was cast instead . Adult film star Harry Reems was originally signed to play Coach Calhoun ; however , executives at Paramount nixed the idea due to Reems ' previous work in pornography , and producers cast Sid Caesar instead . Caesar was one of several veterans of 1950s television ( Eve Arden , Frankie Avalon , Joan Blondell , Edd Byrnes , Alice Ghostley , Dody Goodman ) to be cast in supporting roles . Lucie Arnaz was under serious consideration to play Rizzo , but Arnaz says she chose to keep a theater commitment due to the lack of guaranteed support from Paramount ' s Michael Eisner . Randal Kleiser directed Travolta ( who requested him for ) and Kelly Ward in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble two years prior to Filming The opening beach scene was shot at Malibu ' s Leo Carrillo State Beach , making explicit reference to From Here to Eternity . The exterior Rydell scenes , including the basketball , baseball , and track segments , were shot at Venice High School in Venice , California , while the Rydell interiors , including the high school dance , were filmed at Huntington Park High School . The sleepover was shot at a private house in East Hollywood .

" It holds a score of 70 / 100 on a similar website Metacritic . Vincent Canby called the film " terrific fun " , describing it as a " contemporary fantasy about a 1950s teen - age musical , a larger , funnier , wittier and more imaginative - than - Hollywood movie with a life that is all its own " ; Canby pointed out that the film was " somewhat in the manner of Close Encounters of the Third Kind , which recalls the science - fiction films of the 1950s in a manner more elegant and more benign than anything that was ever made then , is a multi - million - dollar evocation of the B - picture quickies that Sam Katzman used to turn out in the ' 50s ( Do n ' t Knock the Rock , 1956 ) and that American International carried to the sea in the 1960s ( Beach Party , 1963 ) .

However , he turned down the role for fear of being typecast . Susan Dey and Deborah Raffin were the first choices for the role of Sandy ( Dey declined the role after her manager advised against it ) . Marie Osmond later claimed on " Larry King Live " that she had been also been offered the role but declined " on moral grounds " though she later admitted this to be untrue . Due to a zipper breaking , Olivia Newton - John had to be sewn into the trousers she wears in the last sequence ( the carnival at Rydell ) . Jeff Conaway ( 6 ' 1½ " ( 1.87 m ) ) had to walk slightly stooped so that John Travolta ( 6 ' 2 " ( 1.88 m ) ) would appear taller . Set in high school , most of the principal cast were way past their teenage years . When filming began in June 1977 , John Travolta was 23 , Olivia Newton - John was 28 , Stockard Channing was 33 , Jeff Conaway was 26 , Barry Pearl was 27 , Michael Tucci was 31 , Kelly Ward was 20 , Didi Conn was 25 ; Jamie Donnelly was 30 , and Annette Charles was 29 . Only Dinah Manoff , Lorenzo Lamas , and Eddie Deezen , all 19 , were still teenagers . Randal Kleiser hated the song " You ' re The One That I Want " saying it " sounded awful " . " You ' re the One That I Want " took just one afternoon to film . When Olivia Newton - John was cast as Sandy , her character ' s background had to be changed to accommodate Newton - John ' s own background . In the original Broadway musical Sandy was an all - American girl and her last name was Dumbrowski . In the movie version , she became Sandy Olsson , foreign - exchange student from Australia . Also , because of Newton - John ' s casting , John Farrar ( Newton - John ' s frequent songwriter ) had to write two new songs for the film while other songs from Although cut from the movie , The Alma Mater / Parody instrumental from the stage version can be heard in the office on the last day and during the carnival scenes . Several musical numbers were not used in the film . They appear , however , as jukebox tunes , or band numbers at the high school dance . Among them " Freddy , My Love " , " Those Magic Changes " , and " It ' s Raining on Prom Night " all of which were performed by characters in the stage musical . Top Carrie Fisher was considered for the role of Rizzo . For a time , it was the third highest - grossing movie of all time behind only " Jaws " and " Star Wars " . It was released again in theaters in 1998 for a couple of reasons : to mark the 20th anniversary of the original and because the year before , a dance mix of songs from the soundtrack became a big hit on radio . The film was released in Spain and Latin America as Brillantina ( Brilliantine ) - because its English title translated as " Grasa " or " fat " in Spanish . Danny ' s blue windbreaker at the beginning of the film was intended as a nod to " Rebel Without a Cause " . The original stage play had more sexual references than the censors wanted to allow . Among these was the use of plastic wrap as protection . To overcome the censors , there were n ' t any blatant references but Danny rubs plastic wrap over his crotch during " Greased Lightning " . The scene in Frenchy ' s bedroom while Rizzo is singing the line about Elvis was actually filmed the same day that Elvis Presley died . The final musical scene , " You ' re the One That I Want " was filmed with the help of a traveling carnival . However , director Randal Kleiser decided the next day that additional scenes were needed for close - ups . Unfortunately the carnival had left town so set decorators were called in to build replica backgrounds , that matched the carnival ride ' s construction for the close - ups . Randal Kleiser hated the opening title song , " Grease " ( he thought that the cynical lyrics and disco beat were inappropriate for a film set in the 1950s ) . The dance contest scene was filmed during the summer , when the school was closed . The gym had no air conditioning and the doors had to be kept closed to control lighting , so the building became stifling hot . On more than one occasion , an extra had to be taken out due to heat - related illness . Choreographer Patricia Birch worked with Sha - Na - Na to ensure that the tempo of the dance contest would be correct . She appears , uncredited , as one of the dancers during the contest . In the scene where the cast are near the bridge after the car race , the water on the ground was stagnant and dangerous . Some cast members became ill from filming as the setting was a derelict place full of dirt and rubbish . Harry Reems was originally signed to play Coach Calhoun . Producers got cold feet ( for fear of his adult movie notoriety ) weeks before filming and replaced him with Sid Caesar . Prosecuted by the federal government in 1976 on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines , Reems was convicted , but the conviction was overturned on appeal one year later . The official premiere after - party was at Studio 54 . The production had a product placement plan with Coca - Cola , but it fell through . The Coke products were taken out or blurred . There is a huge hanging picture / advertisement in the diner that was blurred out . Photos on the inside flaps of the soundtrack album have Pepsi products . Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey , who wrote the original stage play , were originally supposed to serve as executive producers of the film but got kicked off the set by Allen Carr . Patricia Birch who was choreographer on the Broadway stage continued her role in the movie version and the film original song " Sandy " was co - written by Louis St . Louis who wrote some songs used in the film . Originated in Chicago at the Kingston Mines Theatre , of which authors Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey were acting ensemble members . It opened on the 5 February 1971 , and cast members Marilu Henner , who played Marty , and James Canning , who played Doody , went on to play those roles on Broadway . Others in the cast were Sue Williams ( Rizzo ) , Bruce Hickey ( Kenickie ) , Bill Cervetti ( Miller ) , Sheila Ray Ceaser ( Jan ) , Hedda Lubin ( Frenchy ) , Polly Pen ( Patti ) , Leslie " Greased Lightning " was supposed to be sung by Jeff Conaway ' s character , Kenickie , as it is in the stage version . John Travolta used his clout to have his character sing it . The director felt it was only right to ask Conaway if it was okay . At first he refused , but he eventually gave in . Rizzo ' s hickeys were real . Stockard Channing said in an interview that Jeff Conaway insisted on applying them himself . The original Broadway production opened at the Eden Theater on February 14 , 1972 and ran for 3,388 performances , setting a record . Adrienne Barbeau and Barry Bostwick were in the original Broadway cast . John Travolta appeared at some time as a replacement on Broadway in the role of " Doody " . Marilu Henner , an alumna of the original Chicago production , appeared as a replacement in the role of " Marty " . Patrick Swayze and Treat Williams were both replacements as Danny Zuko . Richard Gere is also listed as an understudy to many Randal Kleiser shot a scene of Kenickie and Rizzo getting into a heated argument , which explained their attitude towards each other in the diner scene ( where Rizzo threw the malt at Kenickie ) . The fight scene was cut because it did n ' t match the tone of the rest of the film ; it was much grittier , described by one crew member as " looking like something Martin Scorsese might have directed . " " Hopelessly Devoted To You " was written and recorded after the movie had wrapped . The producers felt they needed a strong ballad and had Olivia Newton - John come back to film her singing this song . This song ended up receiving an Academy Award nomination . One of the session drummers for the recording session was Cubby O ' Brien , one of the original Mouseketeers on TV ' s " The Mickey Mouse Club " . Stockard Channing was not the first choice for the role of Rizzo ; Lucie Arnaz was allegedly dropped from consideration when her mother , Lucille Ball , called Paramount and said , " I used to own that studio ; my daughter ' s not doing a screen test ! " ( Ball actually owned the studio Desilu which was bought by Paramount ) . The part went to Channing when the casting director remembered seeing her with Lucie in the play , " Vanities " at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles ( the third member of the Jeff Conaway stated in an episode of " Celebrity Rehab with Dr . Drew " that while filming the scene / song " Greased Lightning " he was dropped by his fellow cast members and injured his back leading to his addiction to prescription painkillers . Jeff Conaway once played Danny Zuko on Broadway . The original Broadway production of " Grease " opened at the Eden Theater on February 14 , 1972 and ran for 3388 performances breaking the previous record set by " Fiddler on the Roof " . This production was also nominated for a 1972 Tony Award for Best Musical . The original Broadway production is the thirteenth longest running show ever . Rydell High is a reference to teen idol Bobby Rydell who had a million selling hit with " Swingin ' School " in 1960 . Randal Kleiser felt the stream of consciousness lyrics Barry Gibb wrote for the opening theme were quite out of place and inappropriate for the light and fun movie he was making . But with Barry Gibb and his Bee Gee Brothers riding high with the Robert Stigwood organization from the " Saturday Night Fever " success and Kleiser being a young upstart director , he felt he had no clout to ask for any changes . Despite the fact that " Laserblast " is predominantly known as Eddie Deezen ' s acting debut , " Grease " was filmed first . Nancy Kyes was considered for the role of Rizzo . For the new Broadway revival , the song " Since I Do n ' t Have You " was added to the score due to Warren Casey ' s death . In the stage play , the song " Look at Me , I ' m Sandra Dee " had a reference to Sal Mineo , who was murdered in 1976 , year before film was shot . So the lyric for movie ( shot in summer 1977 ) was changed to an Elvis Presley reference , who ironically was also dead by the time of the film ' s release in 1978 . The highest - grossing movie of 1978 . Olivia Newton - John requested to have a screen test before she accepted the role of Sandy . The director Randal Kleiser agreed and they shot the ' drive - in movie ' scene with Danny and Sandy as a trial . Newton - John was pleased and went on with filming . It ; s also said that Danny and Sandy got married and had 3 kids after graduating Rydell Hgh . When the film was re - issued in 1998 the diner scenes were heavily censored and had distorted the Coca - Cola posters . This is due to Pepsi sponsoring the film in 1978 , and the fact that Paramount used a film print and not the original negatives . The movie was re - issued in a sing - a - long format in 2010 and had digitally removed the blurred posters , then in 2018 the movie was remastered from its original negatives and the posters were replaced with 1950s Pepsi - Cola posters .

http://greatist.com/eat/best-foods-for-heart-health | The Best Foods for Your Heart — and Why You Should Care If you ’ re a generally healthy 20 - something , chances are the only time you really worry about your heart is when you ’ re going through a breakup . ( Hey , we feel your pain ) . But your ticker deserves more attention than that — especially considering around 600,000 people in the U.S . die from heart disease every year , making it the leading cause of death for both men and women in this country . And simply being young does n ’ t protect you from heart disease risks . In fact , almost half of young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 have at least one coronary heart disease risk factor — such as high blood pressure , stress , or an unhealthy diet — which is pretty scary considering these factors can strongly predict a long - term risk of coronary heart disease . Even having a slightly elevated blood pressure level in your 20s may increase the risk of developing clogged arteries down the line . Not to get all fear - mongery , but what this means is that the habits and behaviors we establish when we ’ re young really can catch up to us — and those include YOLO - justified moments , like ordering an extra drink ( or three ) and skipping the gym for an all - day Netflix session . That ’ s not to say that sometimes we do n ’ t need to watch TV all day , or have an extra drink every once in a while . But research shows that people who maintain heart - healthy behaviors — not smoking , drinking in moderation , eating a healthy diet , exercising regularly , and keeping a lean BMI — throughout their lives have a low cardiovascular risk profile well into middle age . The bottom line : What you do now , you feel later . The good news for young people is that about 80 percent of heart disease can be prevented through healthy diet and lifestyle choices . That means hitting the gym , quitting smoking , cutting back on any boozehound tendencies , and — perhaps most importantly — cleaning up your nutrition plan . Apart from ditching salty and processed foods , it ’ s a great idea to load up on eats that actually help your heart . Here , the list to live by . The 12 Best Foods for Your Heart 1 . Avocado As if you needed another reason to love avocados , the creamy green superfood is also good for the heart . They ’ re jam - packed with monounsaturated fatty acids , which help lower cholesterol levels and may help prevent blood clotting . They also contain potassium , which may help control blood pressure , and magnesium , which has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease in men . Adding some avocado to your meal can also help to increase satiety and satisfaction , which may help with weight management — another way to keep your heart healthy in the long run . 2 . Asparagus It ’ s almost asparagus season — and that ’ s great news for your taste buds and your heart . The superfood contains vitamin K , which can help with blood clotting , and potassium , which helps regulate blood pressure . It also boasts two nutrients that help lower blood cholesterol : soluble fiber and saponins ( nutrients that stop the digestive tract from absorbing cholesterol as easily ) . 3 . Dark Chocolate Chocoholics , rejoice ! Because of the flavanoids — antioxidants that can help suppress LDL , or “ bad ” cholesterol — present in chocolate , indulging in a square or two may decrease your risk of stroke ( Experts recommend sticking to one ounce per day , two to three times per week ) . Nibbling on the sweet stuff can also keep your heart strong by keeping arteries flexible and preventing white blood cells from adhering to the walls of blood vessels . Both of these benefits help prevent atherosclerosis , the hardening of arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke . Just remember to stick to dark chocolate — your best bet is one with a cacao content above 70 percent . 4 . Fatty Fish While a recent study casts some doubt on whether eating fatty acids has heart - healthy benefits , a lot of research suggests foods containing this nutrient have a long history of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease . Case in point : Recent research links a fatty fish - rich diet with a lower risk of coronary artery calcification , which can lead to heart disease . Yet another study suggests the polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fatty fish lower blood pressure and resting heart rate , and may also improve vascular function and lower inflammation . And the American Heart Association still suggests adding fish — particularly fatty fish , like salmon and albacore tuna — to your plate two times per week . 5 . Garlic It ’ s totally worth the vampire - repelling breath ! Not only does garlic add a kick of flavor to any dish , but it also reduces cholesterol and blood pressure and improves blood flow . You might want to stick to fresh garlic to reap the most benefits , though . While both fresh and processed garlic help with promoting healthy blood flow in the heart , research suggests that fresh , crushed garlic is more effective ( though it ’ s worth noting that it was a study done in mice ) . 6 . Kale It ’ s a mean , green , heart - disease - fighting machine ! Among its other health benefits , kale ( one of our favorite superfoods ) is especially good for heart health . The leafy green is a great source of a specific kind of fat ( yes , fat ! ) called alpha - linolenic acid , an omega - 3 fatty acid that ’ s known to improve heart health It ’ s also got inflammation - fighting phytonutrients that can help prevent plaque formation on your arteries . As if that were n ’ t enough , kale is also rich in lutein , a nutrient that ’ s been shown to protect against atherosclerosis ( again , that ’ s the hardening of the arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke ) . 7 . Lentils Thanks to their high fiber , folate , and magnesium content , superfood lentils may boost heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease . It ’ s because of these nutrients that legumes like these little guys have been shown to reduce inflammation . and decrease the risk of death by heart disease by as much as a whopping 82 percent . While magnesium helps lower blood pressure folate lowers the level of a damaging amino acid in the bloodstream . 8 . Nuts Go ahead and get a little nutty . Eating nuts every day decreases the risk of dying from heart disease by 29 percent ( as compared to people who did n ’ t eat them over a period of 30 years ) . How do such little things have such a huge effect ? They contain unsaturated fats , which improve cholesterol by lowering “ bad ” cholesterol and raising the good kind . Walnuts , in particular , contain omega - 3 fatty acids , which may prevent blood clots and the development of irregular heart rhythms . Nuts also contain an amino acid that helps ease blood flow — proof that something small can be mighty . Find out how your favorite nuts stack up nutritionally — just take a look at this guide 9 . Olive Oil Olive oil , a staple in Mediterranean cuisine ( which has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease on more than one occasion ) , also contains monounsaturated fatty acids . The same study that calls fatty fish to the question also suggests eating olive oil might not lead to less heart disease . That said , as with fatty fish , past research suggests otherwise — and nutrition experts continue to encourage eating foods from the Mediterranean diet — including olive oil . Plus , these fatty acids are loaded with vitamin E , a free radical - fighting vitamin that more than 90 percent of Americans do n ’ t get enough of . 10 . Oranges Orange you glad this citrusy fruit is so good for you ? Though we typically turn to oranges for cold prevention , this fruit is also a great food for your heart , thanks to two different nutrients : pectin and potassium . Pectin , a soluble fiber , basically blocks cholesterol absorption and helps prevent the scarring of heart tissue , while potassium can help keep blood pressure in check . 11 . Red Wine The perfect excuse to pour it up , ( in moderation , of course ) : Wine is good for your ticker . While alcohol in general has been shown to increase “ good ” HDL cholesterol , red wine in particular — due to its polyphenol content — is a heart - healthy superdrink that may help prevent cardiovascular disease . If vino ’ s not your thing , sip on a dark beer like Guiness stout — it contains many of the same good - for - you polyphenols 12 . Whole Grains Pass the ( whole grain ) bread , please . The American Heart Association recommends including whole grains , such as whole - grain bread , popcorn , and brown rice , in your diet . These good - for - you grains contain fiber , which has been associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease . Plus , whole grains high in soluble fiber , such as oatmeal , decrease LDL cholesterol and blood pressure , while whole grains high in insoluble fiber , such as whole - wheat bread , also lower blood pressure .

http://greatist.com/fitness/50-bodyweight-exercises-you-can-do-anywhere | 50 Bodyweight Exercises You Can Do Anywhere December 17 , 2014 By Laura Schwecherl Who needs a gym when there ’ s the living room floor ? Bodyweight exercises are a simple , effective way to improve balance , flexibility , and strength without machinery or extra equipment . From legs and shoulders to chest and abs , we ’ ve covered every part of the body that can get stronger with body resistance alone . Full Body 1 . Inchworm Stand up tall with the legs straight , and do like Lil ’ Jon and let those fingertips hit the floor . Keeping the legs straight ( but not locked ! ) , slowly lower the torso toward the floor , and then walk the hands forward . Once in a push - up position , start taking tiny steps so the feet meet the hands . Continue bugging out for 4 - 6 reps . 2 . Tuck Jump Standing with the knees slightly bent , jump up as high as possible ( pretend Jeremy Lin is watching ! ) and bring the knees in toward the chest while extending the arms straight out . Land with the knees slightly bent and quickly jump ( on it ) again ! 3 . Bear Crawl Embrace that inner grizzly . Starting on the hands and knees , rise up onto the toes , tighten the core , and slowly reach forward with the right arm and right knee , followed by the left side . Continue the crawl for 8 - 10 reps ( or until you scare your roommates off ) . 4 . Mountain Climber Starting on your hands and knees , bring the left foot forward directly under the chest while straightening the right leg . Keeping the hands on the ground and core tight , jump and switch legs . The left leg should now be extended behind the body with the right knee forward . Next up ? Everest . 5 . Plyometric Push - Up Ready to catch some air ? Start on a well - padded surface and complete a traditional push - up . Then , in an explosive motion , push up hard enough to come off the floor ( and hang ten for a second ! ) . Once back on solid ground , immediately head into the next repetition . 6 . Stair Climb with Bicep Curl Turn those stairs into a cardio machine — no magic wand necessary . Grab some dumbbells ( or household objects ! ) and briskly walk up and down the stairway while simultaneously doing bicep curls to work the whole body . 7 . Prone Walkout Beginning on all fours with the core engaged , slowly walk the hands forward , staying on the toes but not moving them forward . Next , gradually walk the hands backwards to the starting position , maintain stability and balance . ( This dance comes next . ) 8 . Burpees One of the most effective full - body exercises around , this one starts out in a low squat position with hands on the floor . Next , kick the feet back to a push - up position , complete one push - up , then immediately return the feet to the squat position . Leap up as high as possible before squatting and moving back into the push - up portion of the show . 9 . Plank Nope , we ’ re ( thankfully ) not walking the plank . Lie face down with forearms on the floor and hands clasped . Extend the legs behind the body and rise up on the toes . Keeping the back straight , tighten the core and hold the position for 30 - 60 seconds ( or as long as you can hang ) . 10 . Plank - to - Push - Up Starting in a plank position , place down one hand at a time to lift up into a push - up position , with the back straight and the core engaged . Then move one arm at a time back into the plank position ( forearms on the ground ) . Repeat , alternating the arm that makes the first move . Legs 11 . Wall Sit Who needs a chair when there ’ s a wall ? Slowly slide your back down a wall until the thighs are parallel to the ground . Make sure the knees are directly above the ankles and keep the back straight . Go for 60 seconds per set ( or however long it takes to turn those legs to jelly ) . Need more fire ? Add some bicep curls . 12 . Lunge Stand with the hands on the hips and feet hip - width apart . Step your right leg forward and slowly lower body until left ( back ) knee is close to or touching the floor and bent at least 90 degrees . Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side . Try stepping back into the lunge for a different variation . 13 . Clock Lunge Time for a challenge . Complete a traditional forward lunge , then take a big step to the right and lunge again . Finish off the semicircle with a backwards lunge , then return to standing . And all that ’ s one rep ! Aim for 10 reps and then switch legs . 14 . Lunge - to - Row Start by doing a normal lunge . Instead of bringing that forward leg back to the starting position , raise it up off the floor while lifting the arms overhead . The leg should remain bent at about 90 degrees . Add weights to really bring the heat . 15 . Pistol Squat There may be no gun permit necessary for this one , but it ’ s still no joke . Stand holding the arms straight out in front of the body , and raise the right leg , flexing the right ankle and pushing the hips back . Then lower the body while keeping the right leg raised . Hold ( have fun with that ) , then return to standing . 16 . Lunge Jump Ready to impress some friends ? Stand with the feet together and lunge forward with the right foot . Jump straight up , propelling the arms forward while keeping the elbows bent . While in the air , switch legs and land in a lunge with the opposite leg forward . Repeat and continue switching legs . Try to do 10 ! 17 . Curtsy Lunge Let ’ s show a little respect . When lunging , step the left leg back behind the right , bending the knees and lowering the hips until the right thigh is almost parallel to the floor . Remember to keep the torso upright and the hips square . 18 . Squat Stand with the feet parallel or turned out 15 degrees — whatever is most comfortable . Slowly start to crouch by bending the hips and knees until the thighs are at least parallel to the floor . Make sure the heels do not rise off the floor . Press through the heels to return to a standing position . 19 . Single Leg Deadlift Start in a standing position with the feet together . Lift the right leg slightly , and lower the arms and torso while raising the right leg behind the body . Keep the left knee slightly bent and reach the arms as close to the floor as possible . Raise the torso while lowering the right leg . Switch legs . 20 . Squat Reach and Jump Ready to add some pizzazz ( and cardio ! ) to that squat ? Perform a normal squat , but immediately jump up , reaching the arms straight overhead . Aim for 15 reps , taking a quick breather before the next set . 21 . Chair Squat Pose Stand with the feet hip - distance apart and squat until the thighs are parallel to the floor while swinging the arms up . Straighten the legs , then lift up the right knee while swinging the left arm outside the right knee . Return to standing and repeat on the other side . 22 . Quadruped Leg Lift Starting on the hands and knees , keep a flat back and engage the core . Raise the left leg straight back , stopping when the foot is hip - level and the thigh parallel to the floor . Balance for as long as possible , then raise the bottom right toe off the floor , tightening the butt , back , and abs ( try to be graceful here ! ) . Hold for up to 10 seconds , then switch legs . 23 . Step - Up This may be self - explanatory , but just in case — find a step or bench , and place the right foot on the elevated surface . Step up until the right leg is straight ( do it for Channing ! ) , then return to start . Repeat , aiming for 10 - 12 reps on each side . 24 . Calf Raise From a standing position , slowly rise up on the toes , keeping the knees straight and heels off the floor . Hold briefly , then come back down . Aaaand repeat . Try standing on something elevated ( like a step ) to achieve a wider range of motion . Chest & Back 25 . Standard Push - Up There ’ s a reason this one ’ s a classic . With hands shoulder - width apart , keep the feet flexed at hip distance , and tighten the core . Bend the elbows until the chest reaches the ground , and then push back up ( make sure to keep the elbows tucked close to the body ) . That ’ s one ! 26 . Dolphin Push - Up Start out in dolphin pose ( think : down - dog with elbows on the floor ) . Lean forward , lowering the shoulders until the head is over the hands . Pull up the arms and return to the starting position . ( No ocean necessary . ) 27 . Contralateral Limb Raises Sounds fancy , huh ? Here ’ s the breakdown : Lie on your stomach with the arms outstretched and palms facing one another . Slowly lift one arm a few inches off the floor , keeping it straight without rotating the shoulders and keeping the head and torso still . Hold the position , then lower the arm back down , moving to the other arm . 28 . Donkey Kick It ’ s time to embrace that wild side . Start in a push - up position , with the legs together . Tighten the core and kick both legs into the air with knees bent , reaching the feet back toward the glutes . Just try to land gently when reversing back to the starting position . 29 . Handstand Push - Up Fair warning : This move is for the pros . Get set in a headstand position against a wall and bend the elbows at a 90 - degree angle , doing an upside down push - up ( so the head moves toward the floor and the legs remain against the wall ) . First timer ? Grab a friend to spot you — safety first ! 30 . Judo Push - up From a push - up position , raise up those hips and in one swift movement ( Hai - yah ! ) use the arms to lower the front of the body until the chin comes close to the floor . Swoop the head and shoulders upward and lower the hips , keeping the knees off the ground . Reverse the move to come back to the raised - hip position . Try to repeat for 30 - 60 seconds . 31 . Reverse Fly For DIY dumbbells , grab two cans or bottles of water . Stand up straight , with one foot in front of the other and the front knee slightly bent . With palms facing each other and the abs engaged , bend forward slightly from the waist and extend arms out to the side , squeezing the shoulder blades . Repeat . 32 . Superman Want some superpowers ? Lie face down with arms and legs extended . Keeping the torso as still as possible , simultaneously raise the arms and legs to form a small curve in the body . Cape optional . Shoulders & Arms 33 . Triceps Dip Get seated near a step or bench . Sit on the floor with knees slightly bent , and grab the edge of the elevated surface and straighten the arms . Bend them to a 90 - degree angle , and straighten again while the heels push towards the floor . For some extra fire , reach the right arm out while lifting the left leg . 34 . Diamond Push - Up Jay - Z would approve . These push - ups get pimped out with a diamond - shaped hand position ( situate them so that the thumbs and index fingers touch ) . This hand readjustment will give those triceps some extra ( burning ) love . 35 . Boxer Time to make Muhammad Ali proud .

http://greatist.com/fitness/why-are-our-muscles-sore-after-workout | Why Are Your Muscles Sore After a Workout ? You Might Like 14 Must - Try Recovery Tools for When You ' re Crazy Sore After a Workout We ' ve all been there : You ' ve crushed a tough workout only to be rewarded with stiff , aching muscles the morning after . Turns out that uncomfortable feeling , otherwise known as delayed onset muscle soreness ( DOMS ) , is actually a pretty normal side effect of the muscle rebuilding process . What You Need to Know Despite the prevalence of DOMS , the exact mechanisms that cause it are not totally understood . Currently , most think it ’ s a result of microscopic tears in the muscle and surrounding connective tissue as a result of eccentric exercise . The eccentric phase of a movement occurs when a muscle is lengthening ( sometimes referred to as doing “ negatives ” ) . Classic examples would be lowering a dumbbell back to its starting position during bicep curls or running downhill . One thing DOMS does n ' t involve ? The build - up of lactic acid , which is actually a common myth . ( Lactic acid is gone from your muscles within about an hour after your workout . ) And DOMS is n ’ t just about soreness . Symptoms can include weakness , stiffness , and sensitivity to touch . The discomfort usually starts to appear within 12 to 24 hours after exercise , peaks after 24 to 72 hours , and should disappear within three to five days . But here ’ s the good news . Because the body builds tolerance and adapts pretty rapidly , DOMS should become less frequent as you continue exercising at the same intensity . Plus , just one soreness - inducing session reduces the chance of the same workout making you sore again for weeks or even months . Your Action Plan To date , science has yet to find a definitive way to alleviate DOMS every time it occurs . Letting your muscles rest seems to be the best ( albeit obvious ) option . However , there may be a few steps you can take to be kind to your body along the way . Tart cherry juice ginger , and turmeric are all natural anti - inflammatories that may help minimize the pain . And in smaller studies , both watermelon juice ( yum ! ) and the topical application of arnica have also provided relief . Other studies have shown that , at least in trained athletes , cold water baths or alternating hot - and - cold water baths may have a positive effect on recovery time . Before you start filling your tub with ice , though , note that these studies did n ’ t examine pain relief , only performance recovery . And believe it or not , the jury is out on whether over - the - counter pain relievers ( like acetaminophen ) and nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ) provide much help . Though acetaminophen appears to be effective at reducing pain — thereby allowing athletes to push harder and improve performance — it may not be effective at relieving the pain associated with DOMS . And though one study claims that NSAIDs ( drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin ) may have a positive effect depending on dosage and the time of administration , more recent studies have found that the over - the - counter form is ineffective . One last thing to consider ? Recent studies have shown that chronic use of NSAIDs may actually inhibit muscle growth , though they may be OK to use occasionally . To sum up : There ’ s not a great OTC solution for the muscle aches you get the next morning . Passive stretching and other homeopathic approaches have also been unsuccessful at alleviating DOMS symptoms . No Pain , No Gain ? Soreness is a natural effect of exercise and a sign muscles are benefiting from all that hard work . Most people will experience muscle aches at some point , especially if they ’ re new to working out or starting a new training program ( sorry ! ) . In order to improve , overloading your muscles is required , but there ’ s also a law of diminishing returns in fitness . That ’ s the tipping point where you wo n ’ t get any more out of your workout and might do more harm than good . So if you ’ re in pain during exercise or if your pain lasts longer than a few days , it ’ s probably time to see a doc . Otherwise , train hard , rest up , and enjoy the benefits of a stronger , healthier body . Originally published in June 2011 . Updated July 2015 .

http://greatist.com/health/best-foods-hangover | The Best and Worst Foods to Cure a Hangover EDITOR ' S PICK What Happened When One Editor Tried to Hide a Horrible Hangover at Work It ’ s one of those mornings : Last night was a crazy one and getting out of bed feels tougher than climbing out of a subterranean pit . Old - school wisdom preaches reaching for cold pizza or a greasy bacon sandwich , but wait — some foods are scientifically proven to help cure a hangover ! Read on to learn which foods can alleviate post - party symptoms and which should be avoided like that plastic cup full of last night ’ s beer . The Wrath of Grapes First thing ' s first , let ’ s talk science . Typical hangover symptoms — nausea , sensitivity to light , headache , achy muscles , diarrhea , and decreased motor skills — are all caused by changes in body chemistry , including hormones , chemical reactions within the body , and the toxic chemicals in alcohol . The science of hangovers ( and how to prevent them ) is largely unstudied , which is why people have been inventing their own “ cures ” for centuries . Though no one meal or drink can cure a hangover , certain foods are better for refueling than others . After waking up with a pounding head , aim to restock the body with necessary fluids and nutrients like fructose , vitamins , animo acids , and minerals that can help break down toxins or lessen the body ’ s negative reaction to the chemicals in booze Drinks That Help Water The elixir of life should be your no . 1 priority after waking up with a pounding head . Alcohol is a diuretic , which means it pushes liquids out of the body . When nothing ’ s left in the tank , the body will draw water from any available source , including the brain — hello , headache . Drinking some H20 before heading to bed can help prevent some painful hangover symptoms , but grabbing the water bottle in the morning does n ’ t hurt either . Sports Drinks , Coconut Water , or Pedialyte Sugary sports drinks can do a workout more harm than good , but such is not the case with a killer hangover . Reach for a Gatorade or similar beverage to restore liquids and electrolytes stat . Or pop open a box of coconut water , which has five of the electrolytes found in human blood , while most sports drinks only have two . Finally , one more cure that ' s garnered a cult following : Pedialyte , a drink intended for dehydrated children , provides even more sodium and potassium than Gatoride , for far fewer calories . Ginger or Peppermint Tea For a soothing brew , look no further than your favorite herbal tea . Studies show that ginger tea may reduce nausea and motion sickness . Peppermint tea ( a common morning sickness cure for pregnant ladies ) may also ease stomach pain and decrease nausea . Fruit Juice Pour a glass of apple or cranberry juice ( just stay away from OJ — more on that later ) to kick start the recovery process . The fructose in sweet fruity drinks gives the body some instant energy , and juice also contains vitamins and plenty of water to help rehydrate the body . Pickle Juice This hangover remedy is weird , but sources swear it works ! The sour liquid contains vinegar , salt , and water , which can help rehydrate and replenish electrolyte and sodium levels . To make the most of it , sip two ounces ( measure it out in a standard shotglass ) before hitting the bars and another two ounces in the morning . Coffee While waking up with zero energy sounds like the perfect time for a cup of Joe , it actually could worsen that headache , since caffeine is a mild diuretic . Still , if you drink java daily , stick with your habit : The liquid in coffee can help rehydrate your body , and it does give you a little boost of energy . Plus , a study showed that the combo of caffeine and over - the - counter inflammatory drugs ( like Advil or aspirin ) may help counteract the head - pounding effects of a hangover . Foods That Help Eggs This breakfast staple is a brunch all - star for a reason . Eggs are chock full of hardworking amino acids like cysteine and taurine . Taurine boosts liver function and may help prevent liver disease . Cysteine breaks down acetaldehyde , the yucky headache - causing chemical that ’ s left over when the liver breaks down ethanol . Bananas , Dates , and Leafy Greens These brightly colored foods contain potassium , an important electrolyte that is often depleted due to alcohol ’ s diuretic effect . Not feeling a salad first thing in the morning ? Add some yogurt ( which contains even more potassium ) and blend these bad boys into a hangover - fighting smoothie . Chicken Noodle Soup Nothing says “ wild night out ” like a bowl of mom ’ s famous chicken soup , right ? It might not be the most conventional hangover food , but a cup o ' noodles can help restock sodium and water levels in the body . Chicken also contains cysteine , which give the liver a much - needed boost . Miso Soup Sushi is the last thing most people want to eat with a hangover , but there ’ s no reason to eschew all Japanese food . Like traditional chicken noodle , miso soup is a great morning - after remedy — the broth rehydrates and restocks sodium levels while the fermented miso can help aid digestion . Crackers or Toast with Honey Since crackers can be loaded with preservatives , pick a healthier option like Wasa or a 100 - percent whole - wheat variety . Crackers and whole - wheat toast are both bland carbs that raise low blood sugar , without upsetting the stomach . Add a drizzle of fructose - laden honey for even more instant energy . Just remember to follow it with some protein later in the day to offset the blood - sugar surge . Oats Take this superfood for a spin when you ’ re feeling less than stellar in the morning . A hot bowl of oatmeal has plenty of essential nutrients like B vitamins , calcium , magnesium , and iron . Plus oats can help neutralize acids in the body and raise blood sugar levels , giving you an instant energy boost . Food and Drinks to Avoid Greasy Food Contrary to popular knowledge , heading to the local greasy spoon is not a great idea . Turns out , a large , fatty meal is better at preventing a hangover than curing one , since fried foods can irritate the stomach . But , chowing down on a big burger before the liquor starts flowing can help insulate the stomach , preventing alcohol from being absorbed into the stomach lining and bloodstream . Hair of the Dog This wacky expression comes from a Norwegian folk saying that claims the best cure incorporates the substance that did the damage in the first place . Scandinavian wisdom aside , boozing in the morning is not the solution to a hangover . An alcoholic beverage can help take the edge off in the morning , but it will further dehydrate the body and lead to even worse hangover symptoms later in the day . Orange Juice Lay off the OJ after a night on the town . Sour citrus like orange and grapefruit can irritate an already sensitive stomach . Also , skip tomato juice — it is also acidic , making a Bloody Mary at brunch probably the worst choice for a hungover morning . Originally published January 2013 . Updated December 2015 .

http://greatist.com/health/healthy-egg-recipes | 27 Things You Should Put an Egg On ( or Inside ) Ahh , the humble egg . Few foods out there are as versatile as this inexpensive protein source . These little orbs are filled with nutrients , including lutein and zeaxanthin ( essential for healthy eyes ! ) and omega - 3 fatty acids ( an important part of keeping hearts healthy ) . And while the cholesterol content of egg yolks has caused some controversy , eating as many as four egg yolks per week should n ' t be a problem for most egg - lovers out there . With just 70 calories and 6 grams of protein per egg , incorporating eggs into any meal is an easy way to stay full for hours while also staying healthy . From baked goods to omelets , pancakes to souflée , the possibilities are truly endless . And then there ' s one of the most beautiful ways to use an egg : Anything that allows the yolks to run free . Here are 27 recipes starring one of our favorite superfoods ( and the best all - natural yellow sauce — the egg yolk ) ! GO AHEAD , PUT AN EGG . . . Photo : The Wicked Noodle 1 . In a crepe . Thin , buttery crepes make the perfect container for crumbled sausage and bright - yolked eggs in this simple weekend brunch recipe . Forego the sausage in favor of sautéed kale for a meat - free , iron - and calcium - packed version . 2 . In multiples , on top of a sandwich . OK , so not everyone has quail eggs on hand . But if you did , why not top a chicken - egg sandwich with a dozen or so sunny side - up quail eggs , as in this " WTF Quail Egg Sandwich " ? The best part ? Runny yolk with every bite ! 3 . I n a roll , baked . You ' ve likely seen " eggs in a hole " before , but this bready , eggy recipe brings it to another level . Scoop out the inside of a dinner roll , then fill it with an egg . Bake to perfection . Go with a whole - grain roll for added fiber , and serve alongside a bed of healthier salad greens for an easy and healthy brunch . 4 . In a cheesy spinach sandwich . Here ’ s an easy way to make a batch of sandwiches without too much hassle . A mixture of eggs , spinach , and cheese gets baked all together and scooped onto rolls when cooked through . Voila ! Simple sandwiches . Plus , the spinach - heavy filling is rich with superfood benefits , including a healthy dose of calcium and vitamin K . Make it even healthier by skipping the roll and enjoying the eggs atop fresh greens or on their own . 5 . In a baguette for breakfast . Sure , you ’ ve probably had eggs on top of baguette slices , but this recipe takes it one step further by placing the egg inside the bread . Opt for a whole - grain baguette for an extra serving of protein and fiber , and enjoy alongside some fresh fruit or a small salad . Photo : Glow Kitchen 6 . Baked into an avocado . Once the pit is removed , the remaining depression in an avocado half is the perfect place to crack an egg . Add some crumbled feta and fresh herbs and serve alongside some whole - grain toast for a healthy , simple , and filling meal . 7 . Fried up , on top of some potato and herb hash . Sure , it ’ s commonplace to make breakfast potatoes in a cast iron skillet , but the eggs are usually cooked separately and served on top or beside . Not in this simple one - pan dish ! After the potatoes are cooked , crack the eggs right in there with the spuds , and sprinkle with a healthy dose of fresh herbs . ( Try dill for a Scandanavian twist , oregano and parsley if you ’ re feeling Italian , or rosemary and thyme for some French flavor . ) Aside from fresh flavors , herbs provide health benefits ranging from treating insomnia to providing a healthy dose of antioxidants . 8 . In a cup made from bacon . No frying pan needed here . Make eggs n ’ bacon cups by lining a muffin tin with ( wait for it ) slices of bacon , and cracking an egg in each meat - lined cup . Bake until whites are set and yolks are shining bright , and still a bit liquid in the center . Serve alongside a slice of whole - grain toast or on top of sautéed veggies or greens . 9 . Scrambled , in a boat ( err … baguette ) . Think of this as the quick way of making a scrambled egg sub sandwich . Hollow out sub rolls , fill them with eggs , cheese , and sausage , and bake . You can easily healthify this recipe by choosing a whole - grain roll , cutting back on the egg yolks , and adding some chopped veggies ( like onions , peppers , and mushrooms ) instead of sausage . 10 . On a pizza ( for breakfast , lunch , or dinner ) . The best part about pizza is that , when it comes to toppings , pretty much anything goes . This one gets smothered in tomato sauce , bacon , thinly - sliced potatoes , ham , and whole eggs . If you ’ re not a fan of the double - meat topping , opt for sliced onions and bell peppers instead ( You ’ ll get an extra dose of vitamin C , too ! ) . 11 . On top of Huevos Rancheros breakfast pizza . Topped with beans , cheese , avocado , and eggs , this pizza is nothing to mess with . The eggs and beans provide a healthy dose of protein , while avocado lends some vitamin E , which is essential for keeping our cells healthy and functioning properly . Photo : Just a Taste 12 . In quail form , on top of a roasted red pepper crostini . This recipe ca n ’ t get any easier . Toast some baguette slices . Top with roasted red peppers ( from a jar , or homemade ) , and top that with a fried quail egg . 13 . Poached , atop a quinoa salad . Packed with protein and fiber , quinoa ( one of our favorite superfoods ) makes a great base for just about anything — especially in this salad . Toss it with some baby greens , sautéed mushrooms , and goat cheese , and top it with a poached egg or two , and you have a healthy , meat - free , and super - filling meal perfect for lunch or dinner . The runny yolk makes the quinoa mixture even more delicious . 14 . In a baked potato . This author has endless ideas regarding where to stick eggs . In fact , she wrote an entire cookbook devoted to it ! ( Check it out here ! ) The sunny - side - up - topped baked potato makes a great breakfast , or breakfast - for - dinner . Garnish with chopped bacon , plain Greek yogurt , and green onions , or go full veggie - mode and whip up a mixture of greens or other seasonal veggies ( Brussels sprouts would be great ! ) to stick beneath the egg . 15 . Smushed on a juicy burger . No recipe needed for this one . The best burger topping ( probably ever ) ? An over - easy egg , of course . Press the second half of the bun on top , and watch the yolk run down the sides . Keep in mind that this works equally well for beef , turkey , veggie , and basically any other type of burger . The health benefit ? This one ’ s more about happiness , people . 16 . On top of rainbow chard , potato , and pesto hash . It might not get healthier than this take on the classic breakfast hash . Instead of greasy meat , the base of this hash is a few potatoes and heaps of rainbow chard , all flavored with a fresh chard and cashew pesto . ( Can you say yum ? ) Both the hash and pesto use the Swiss chard stems , which studies show contain glutamine , an amino acid that helps boost the immune system 17 . Atop a pile of asparagus . Here ’ s a super simple springtime brunch that will impress any houseguest . Roast some asparagus , poach a few eggs , arrange everything on a nice plate , and top with shaved parmesan . Photo : Martha Stewart 18 . On top of lentils and sautéed greens . Lentils are an underrated superfood . They ’ re packed with protein , not to mention folate , iron , and potassium . Plus , they ’ re endlessly versatile , especially as a protein source for vegans and vegetarians . Here , cooked green lentils get tossed with sautéed veggies and greens , then topped with runny - yolked eggs . This recipe is perfect as a late weekend brunch or light dinner . 19 . On avocado toast , to bring it to the next level . Give us a piece of whole - grain bread with smashed avocado and a bit of salt and pepper , and we ’ re happy campers . Top that with an over - easy egg , and we ’ re in heaven . 20 . As a topping for polenta and braised kale with pancetta . First big tip : Use whole - grain cornmeal for the polenta ! Second tip : Breaking the yolk and enjoying the first bite of this hearty , rich dish is well worth the time it takes to make it . Creamy polenta is topped with a pancetta and kale sautée , and all of that is topped with poached eggs . Whole grains from the polenta , iron from the kale , and protein from the eggs make this a fortifying dinner . 21 . In a nest of shaved Brussels sprouts . Here at Greatist , we love Brussels sprouts . And we ' re all for trying any recipe that makes prepping them super simple . Shredded and cooked with onions and simple seasonings , the little green orbs make a perfect base for lightly cooked eggs in this easy recipe 22 . With Asian flavorings on top of greens . By now , spinach or kale and sunny eggs are a pretty standard combo . But puts a different spin on the greens - n ’ - eggs combo by choosing Asian greens ( such as bok choy ) and flavoring them with tamari and sesame oil . 23 . With sweet potato and Brussels sprout hash . Diced sweet potatoes and sliced Brussels sprouts make a flavorful , filling base for poached eggs when they ’ re cooked in coconut oil and flavored with red onion , garlic , and pepper . Add the homemade thyme hollandaise on top , and this dish is pure heaven . Plus , sweet potatoes are loaded with fiber , beta - carotene , vitamins A and C , and other antioxidants . 24 . On top of a crispy kale BLT croque madame with smoked gouda and avocado . Now , a regular croque madame is already pretty amazing . But when you add crispy kale , grape tomatoes , gouda , bacon , and avocado into the mix , things get a little crazy ( and almost too delicious for words ) . If this recipe looks a little too decadent ( or difficult to make ) , forego the béchamel sauce and leave out the bacon . 25 . In some egg yolk ravioli . Yes , this is a thing . Yes , making ravioli can be quite a process . But yes , it ’ s also worth it to have a fresh , delicate ravioli that oozes egg yolk when cut open . Serve alongside sautéed vegetables or atop garlic bread for a real treat . ( Sorry , folks . No good way to make this one any healthier than served with a healthy dose of veg . ) 26 . On top of Caprese - style eggs benedict . Try this lighter version of classic eggs benedict by subbing in sliced tomato and fresh mozzarella for the traditional ham or bacon . If the homemade hollandaise seems like too much work , feel free to skip it — the runny yolk from the poached eggs will serve the same purpose ( to dip , obviously ! ) . 27 . On top of risotto . This risotto is filled with mushrooms , onion , garlic , carrots , asparagus , and peas . ( Is it possible to shove any more veggies into this dish ? We do n ’ t think so . ) The creaminess of the Arborio rice makes enjoying this recipe feel decadent , even though you ’ re getting a whole bunch of antioxidants in each bite . Add an egg on top , and you have a healthy meal complete with carbohydrates , veggies , and protein .

http://greatist.com/health/skim-milk-vs-soy-milk-greatist-debate | Skim Milk vs . Soy Milk : The Greatist Debate Nothing ’ s better than a glass of cold milk , especially when chocolate chip cookies are included in the mix . And while humans have been milking cows since 4000 BC , soy milk was only developed in the past 500 years and has since become an alternative to the traditional stuff . But what ’ s the better option ? Meet the Competitors Skim milk and soy milk may look pretty similar , but their content can vary quite a bit . Cow ’ s milk is a better source of calcium , vitamin A , and vitamin C , while soy milk wins in the vitamin D and iron categories . Calorie content varies between brands , but skim milk generaly has about 20 more calories per cup . And while skim milk has traces of fat ( around 0.4 grams ) , soy milk is naturally fat - free . They do have one thing in common , though — and it ’ s good news for those skinny jeans — studies suggest the calcium in both milks can help accelerate weight loss Cow ’ s milk and soy milk also pack different punches when it comes to protein . Moo Juice contains both casein and whey protein , both great for building muscle . While whey protein is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream , casein is digested more slowly and provides the body with protein for a longer period of time , together providing a mean one - two protein punch Soy milk , however , contains only soy protein , since it ’ s made by processing soybeans . Soy protein has been found to reduce LDL cholesterol ( the “ bad ” kind ) and raise HDL cholesterol ( the “ good ” kind ) . Trying to build muscle ? Beware — one study suggested that milk - based proteins promote greater muscle growth than soy - based proteins when consumed after resistance exercise While both milks contain essential vitamins and minerals and can help with weight - loss and muscle - gain , each has its own set of potential pitfalls . Soy milk contains phytoestrogens ( plant - produced estrogens ) , which act similarly to estrogen and may decrease fertility in men . But good news , guys — there ’ s no need to say “ soy long ” to soy milk . Men can consume soy in moderation without worrying about estrogen overload — just do n ’ t consume more than 3 quarts of soy milk per day . Of course , there ’ s also concern over hormones in regular milk , specifically bovine growth hormone ( rBGH ) . Although rBGH appears safe , there ’ s no definitive proof . Still worried ? Try organic or hormone - free milk instead of regular , to avoid ingesting the rBGH hormone . The Decision So is it time to say bye - bye to the moo - moo , or see - ya - later to the soy ? Good news — this battle is a toss up ! Both options have their benefits — and their dangers — but are fine when consumed in moderation . For those who are lactose intolerant , soy milk can be a saving grace . But if not , do n ’ t forget that a glass of dairy packs more protein and calcium than the soy stuff . In the end , it all comes down to the tongue — and perhaps which milk ‘ stache looks better . Calcium Milk Soy Milk Health | [

http://greatlakesvoice.com/drc-gold-business-in-kampala-is-an-open-secret/ | DRC gold business in Kampala is an open secret This post has already been read 48910 times ! Kampala - The Congo - gold business in Uganda is an open secret . It is lucrative , war keeps running extends from Kivu to Dubai and is sponsored by the highest authority reports Germany freelance correspondent in Kampala . “ Aurums Roses ” is on the plastic plate on the silver gate . A Congolese opens the gate . But only a crack . Behind him , a video camera filming every visitor . “ The boss is not there , he is in Nairobi , ” he hisses . Then he slams the door and pushes against the inside of the bolt . A few minutes later , an Indian rises from a motorcycle taxi . He pulls out his cell phone : “ Boss , are you there ? ” He asks – and opens the gate The single - storey house in the Kajokya Street , high on a hill , the Ugandan capital Kampala , is notorious . For here the blood from the Congo gold is washed . This says the recent expert report of the UN sanctions committee that monitors compliance with the arms embargo against armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo . “ The majority will be shipped via Kampala to Dubai , ” says the author of the UN report , Dinesh Mahtani . Gold is the most important revenue source of the irregular militias in eastern Congo , especially the Rwandan Hutu militia FDLR ( Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda ) . But Congo ’ s army earns a lot on smuggling . When the UN investigators last year , followed in the footsteps of the gold from the Congo , they landed in Kampala in the Kajokya Street . For here once the seat of the trading company UCI ( Uganda Commercial Impex was ) . Thehe company was set to 2007 , the UN sanctions list for the Congo . “ Have UCI maintains regular business relations with traders in the Congo which have close links with the militias , ” the justification of the sanctions committee . Since then it keeps a low profile in the Kajokya Street . The name plate was unscrewed . But the phone numbers of UCI and Aurum Roses are identical . And if you call there , a man with an Indian accent announces : “ Yes , what can I do for you ? ” The Indians have been established in Uganda ’ s economy . are trade relations between East Africa and South Asia , for centuries , during the British colonial Indian workers laid railway lines in East Africa and Indian businessmen settled there . 1972 , under the rule of Idi Amin , they had to leave Uganda , their businesses were expropriated . Only the current President Yoweri Museveni invited middle of one of the 90 ’ s , back to invest in Uganda . Today they import goods from around the world that they offer in their supermarkets . Even in the construction mix the ethnic Indian families strong . They are regarded as loyal to the government business elite sign was hanging there , where today “ Aurum Roses ” is – “ Golden Rose ” . When asked about UCI , the response of Indian business owners of Aurum Roses , Jamnadas Lodhia , harsh . “ UCI has been closed since 2007 , I will say to the allegations in the UN report , nothing more , ” he growled over the phone . In particular , he does not want to explain what he just two months , from May through June 2009 , bought $ 50,000 worth of plane tickets to fly between Burundi , Uganda , Kenya and India and forth . Annoyed , he hangs up . But for the neighbours in the Kajokya Street remains of the Indians , who under the nickname “ Chuni is known , the ” dealer “ , ” Of course there is still handled in gold , “ said one neighbour . The man shows down the road . In the side street there was another gold dealer . There , in front of the rusty Iron Gate in Bukoto Street , a man typically heard in the gaudy shirt on Congolese Kiswahili , an east African language which is spoken in eastern Congo , with the gatekeeper . It Even a few streets away , in Bukoto Street , no one wants to give information about the company ’ s purpose . The Indian workers , who will not name his name , switches quickly from the computer screen . The plaque on the wall , he can not disappear so fast : one price for investors , the company Machanga Limited , handed over by President Museveni . The trading company is also Machanga since 2007 on the UN sanctions list , also for trade in Congo gold . “ This is all nonsense , ” moves later on the telephone company director Rajandra Vaya . He had set the gold business in 2007 and now with plastic handle , he explains . And a few months ago he opened Vaya Forex , one of the largest money exchange offices in Kampala . Money exchange offices are ideal to have to deal with large amounts of cash in various currencies . A relative Vayas , Jiggar Kumar is working , according to the UN investigation into a money exchange in Dubai , the Asian Exchange Centre . Kumar , 2008 was listed on the vendor list from Emirates Gold , one of the largest gold refineries in Dubai . And the Indians , who rise to about one hour stay at Aurum Roses back on his motorcycle taxi , operates a currency exchange : HP Forex , staugeplagten near the main road . “ The Indians there make strange business , ” whispered the driver of the taxi . “ The Secret Service pays me if I make reports about it . ” As expected , no one wants in the secret service to come out quite so why the Indians are spying . But asked about the gold shops , a senior officer responded with shrugs : “ We can not monitor all business people , ” he says and adds : It is impossible to verify where the gold originated – whether from the Congo or Uganda itself The bulk of the gold that is smuggled from Congo via Kampala is , according to UN experts report from the mines deep in the jungle west of the East Congolese province of North Kivu in Kasugho and from the Ituri region – not far from the Ugandan border . The gold mines in Ostkongos Kivu provinces are controlled according to the UN remains of the Rwandan FDLR militias . They exchange the gold from the miners against soap , plastic sandals , washing dishes and beer – goods which are imported from Uganda to eastern Congo . The FDLR rebels in turn sell the gold over to a middleman company registered in the Congo , Glory Minerals , based in Butembo , the major trade hub of east DRC Glory in Butembo Minerals has three offices and maintains a local monopoly in the gold trade . A document dated January 2009 , signed by the local boss of the mine authority Kakule Kabila calls on all gold dealers in the region , “ all products is to sell more of these three offices , from where they are then exported . Glory Minerals is the only trading company in the region with a gold export license . Not only do the militias with the gold profit . François , who would not give his last name , makes herself comfortable on his porch in Kampala . It is afternoon , his daughter romps around the SUV in the driveway . The man from Cameroon who lives in Uganda for 15 years and married to a Congolese is opened , a bottle of whiskey . The ice cubes clinking in a glass . “ I have done a great deal . ” François has been trading for over ten years with gold . Currently , he says , runs the business very well . He buys in the Congo for 15 to 20 U.S. dollars per gram in Kampala , the Gramm already was worth $ 25 . In Dubai , even 30 to $ 40 This post has already been read 48910 times !

http://greece.mrdonn.org/greekgods/dionysus.html | Gods Myths Games Quiz Teachers Dionysus & Ariadne Dionysus Roman Name : Bacchus Ancient Greek Myths for Kids Dionysus was the Greek god of wine , comedy , and tragedy . Like all Greeks , he loved drama and contests . His special talent was that he could shape shift into looking like any living thing he wanted . For example , he could shape shift into a little mouse or a dangerous animal or a fierce pirate . His favorite shape was that of a handsome young man , dripping in jewels . He had quite sense of humor , and a great deal of fun shape shifting . As the story goes . . . One day , when Dionysus was in the form of his favorite shape , a handsome young man , dripping with jewels , he was spotted by some pirates . They thought they had stumbled across a rich prize , someone they could sell for a lot of money as a slave . Laughing cruelly , they grabbed what they thought was a rich young man ( who was really the god , Dionysus ) , and carried him off to their pirate ship . They tied him tightly to the mast . Dionysus found this all rather amusing . He might have waited a bit longer to see what these stupid mortals would do next , but the rope was rubbing his skin uncomfortably . Dionysus used his magical powers to push the rope away . It landed in a heap at his feet . One of the pirates noticed the young man was no longer tied to the mast . The pirate gasped in surprise . He strongly suspected that he and his fellow pirates had made a terrible mistake . This was no ordinary mortal . Things would not go well for them if they did not quickly return the lad to shore . He pleaded with the other pirates to turn the ship about . But they tied Dionysus to the mast even more tightly than before and headed out to sea . Dionysus waited until the ship had reached very deep water . He pushed the ropes off his body . At the same time , he waved his arm , and thick vines surged from the sea and entangled the ship . Dionysus shape shifted into a roaring lion . He sprang on the terrified pirates . Some jumped overboard to avoid his sharp claws and teeth . Soon , the only pirate left alive on board was the pirate who had begged for his release . That pirate would have gladly jumped overboard with his mates , but Dionysus used " Is that the island of Naxos ? " Dionysus asked casually , peering ahead . The pirate nodded , too terrified to speak . " You can drop me off there , " Dionysus decided . The vines fell away . With no one at the wheel , the ship moved smoothly forward , sailing calmly towards the island of Naxos . When they arrived at the island , Dionysus leaped nimbly onto the seawall . He gave the pirate a friendly wave goodbye , and gave the ship a magical shove out to sea . No one knows if the pirate was able to pilot the ship alone , and no one ( except the pirate of course ) much cared . It was there , on the island of Naxos , that Dionysus first saw the lovely Ariadne . ( Abandoned by Theseus , Ariadne spent her days curled on the seawall , staring out to sea . ) That day , she was fast asleep , worn out with weeping . She took his breath away , she was that beautiful . He waited patiently until Ariadne opened her eyes . She saw a handsome young man , gazing admiring at her . Ariadne felt better immediately . She told Dionysus about her noble efforts to save Theseus and the children of Athens . " And look where it got me , " she sniffed . " You poor thing , " Dionysus said with great sympathy . He immediately asked the lovely young Ariadne to marry him . ( As often as the gods did that kind of thing , it ' s no wonder that so many of their marriages ended in disaster . ) Ariadne , no longer feeling forsaken or friendless , and delighted to be admired by this handsome young man , who was obviously wealthy - only look at his garments ! - consented to be his wife . Believe it or not , Ariadne and Dionysus lived happily ever after ! Ariadne and Dionysus were so happy , in fact , that their love story inspired a 20th century opera , Ariadne auf Naxos , written by the famous composer , Richard Strauss .

http://greekfood.about.com/od/glossary/a/alphabet.htm | Culinary Glossary Greek Cooking Basics Pronouncing the Greek Alphabet By Nancy Gaifyllia Updated 11 / 25 / 18 Wolfgang Weinhäupl / Getty Images One of the best things about learning the Greek language is that words are pronounced the way they are written . There are no silent " e " type letters . If a letter is in the word , it is pronounced . And letters are always pronounced the same way , with the exception of a few diphthongs . The Greek alphabet has 24 letters , some of them representing sounds that are not part of the English language . To create sounds not included in the alphabet , two letters are combined . For example : the hard d sound is made using " nt , " the b sound is created by putting together " m " and " p , " the j sound is created with a combination of " t " and " z , " which does n ' t quite match but comes close , and the same goes for the hard ch sound , which is written using " ts " - except in Crete where , in the local dialect , the letter k is often given the hard ch sound , the hard g sound ( as in " gutter " ) is made with " gk . " The Greek language does not have an sh or soft sound , and while they can be pronounced properly , they ' re written using the letter " s . " Note : This is not a formal language lesson , just a quick pronunciation guide . The Greek Alphabet Letter Upper , lower Name Pronounced When speaking , sounds like A , α alpha AHL - fah ah Β , β vita VEE - tah the letter v Γ , γ gamma GHAH - mah the letter y when it comes before e , u , i ; otherwise like a soft gargle gh Δ , δ thelta THEL - tah hard th as in " there " Ε , ε epsilon EHP - see - lon eh Ζ , ζ zita ZEE - tah z Η , η ita EE - tah ee Θ , θ thita THEE - tah soft th as in " through " Ι , ι iota YO - tah ee Κ , κ kappa KAH - pah k Λ , λ lamtha LAHM - thah l Μ , μ mu mee m Ν , ν nu nee n Ξ , ξ xee ksee x Ο , ο omikron OH - mee - kron oh Π , π pi pee p Ρ , ρ ro roh , roe a rolled r Σ , σ , ς sigma SEEGH - mah s Τ , τ tau tahf t Υ , υ upsilon EWP - see - lon Φ , φ phi fee f Χ , χ chi hee a light gargly as in " challah " Ψ , ψ psi psee ps as in " chips " Ω , ω omega oh - MEH - ghah somewhere between " awe " and " oh " Common Diphthongs ΑΥ , αυ au av or af ΕΥ , ευ eu ev or ef ΟΥ , ου ou oo ΑΙ , αι ai eh | [

http://greenecountyhistoricalsociety.org/viaduct.php | Greene County Viaduct - AKA Tulip Trestle It was built in 1906 and is still standing strong after 91 years of use . The viaduct is officially known as Bridge X75 - 6 . It is the third longest bridge of its type in the world . Its dimensions are one - half mile long , 2,307 feet to be precise , and it stands 157 feet off the ground at its tallest point . The viaduct consists of seventeen 75 - foot deck - plate girder spans , alternating with eighteen 40 - foot girder tower spans . The viaduct also consists of two 50 - foot spans at the west end and two 60 - foot and two 45 - foot spans at the east end . The weight of all that plus the weight of the track itself , is approximately 2,895 tons . The cost of this massive project was about $ 246,504 . A Chicago bridge engineer estimated that to build a bridge the same size today would cost around $ 10,000 per foot or $ 20 million . To construct a bridge the size of the viaduct , a massive coordinated effort had to be organized . The first item that was needed was money . The viaduct was first owned by Indiana Southern Railroad , and Illinois Central Gulf , another railroad company , secretly financed it . Mainly immigrant Italian laborers constructed it . The steel workers were paid 30 cents an hour and common laborers were paid only 15 cents an hour . Frank Hunt , who was a subcontractor , was reported to have hired 50 teams to work on the railroad . The teams were paid $ 3.50 per day and the drivers were paid $ 1.50 per day . This was considered to be above - average wages . However , men and horses were in such demand for this mammoth project that the supply of both became quite low . Several companies did the rest of the work . The Collier Bridge Company did the concrete work , and the American Bridge Company made the steel frame which was later put together by Strobel Steel Construction Company . In charge of overall construction was Archibald Stuart Baldwin . The construction of the viaduct attracted many sightseers . Families would often have picnic dinners while watching the viaduct be constructed . Despite its size , the bridge is difficult to find without explicit directions . The following course is one of several to the site : Leave Bloomfield on State Road 157 north . Go 3.2 miles to County Road 325N and turn right for 1 mile . Drive through a railroad underpass and past the Tulip Church of God on the right . Continue on this road for another mile and bear right at the Beechwood Lake Baptist Youth Camp . There is another railroad overpass .6 mile farther . On the left within .5 mile is a white frame | [

Flowood MS Posts 1691 1 132 Bens Secret Mods for Seadoo 951 and 1050 setups For the people that are interested in getting there Seadoo up to speed here is some good info that a have written over the years Use this free info or contact me in building you a turn key boat I dont have my XPL anymore but Im still doing work on them Had a few people wanting to view this again I had saved most of my info on the building steps I will be updating the section shortly on my latest testing Rpms and speed has been droping off on my boat due to the summer temps but I still managed to run a 743 mph httpmediaputfilecom7462 Click on link to see the video last Friday on a cool motor Temps were around 75 degrees Still dont have the proper prop setup so I got a lot of work to do More mods to come The setback 12 vane pump is a keeper Im just going to have to speed money and time getting it dialed in The Concord 1520 and a 843 nozzle is the best holeshot setup with no prop spin out of the gate But the setback has a little more speed on top end More later on this setup Step 1 Lets make sure we are starting with a fresh 951 engine What we need to do first is basic maintance before we start any mods Lets make sure are rave valves are clean Make sure your filters are clean in each carb and your large single filter is clean too Check the conditon of your fuel lines as well While you have your rave valves off lets inspect our cylinder walls and pistons Check for scuffing on the pistons or the cylinder walls We are looking for any type of water damage too check the top of the piston for Or you will end up with a blown motor These mods are design for any 951 boat XPL RXGSXL and GTXL Now lets start with my ski Its a 99 XPL I bought it used for 3000 two years ago in great condition I bought it right after Christmas after being out of jetsking for close to 2 years I had back surgery and really needed to get back in shape and the shock seat of the XPL really sold me I have owned a 9394XP 97SPX 701 Raider 1100 Raider GP1200 Kaw 900ZXI before I went to the 951 XP I have always had friends with other name boats that I made the same mods to there boats Sometimes it was just fun to make there boats faster than mine just to give me a reason to make mine faster If it was a good friend it was done free of charge they only bought the parts LOL The first day I took out my XPL it was around 40 degrees at was around the first of Jan I had my brand new GPS with me and I was hoping for some 63 to 64 mph passes in the cold winter weather On glass water my first pass was only showing around 59 mph After playing with the trim I managed to get it to break into the 60s But never saw 61 mph Whats wrong with this POS GPS Cant be correct Man did I go home with some hurt feelings My last ski that I owned Now my first step was to do the basic maintance stuff I started talking about at the beganing I then did a fresh top end with new OEM pistons You never know the condition when buying a used boat so thats were I spent my first money like that we knew it wasnt going to bite me in the future And I then purchased my first mods for my boat for 14500 Ben Stage 1 You guessed it Air filters and jet kit Ben Step 2 High performance head Im doing this mod next in line because the impeller that I will be picking works best with a increase in compression due to its taller size While many after market heads are available My favorite one is the Mel Miller head Not only is it nice looking but it is top quality The Buckshot and Rossier heads are about the same some are just a different name or color No heads are bad some should only be used with certain mods or what they were design for The Miller should be run with 49cc domes This will increase your compression from 150 stock to around 165 psi I found that a squish of 55 thous works great on this setup The jetting that I gave in Step 1 works perfect for this head And very little if any adjusts are needed when you install the head Most people have a very slight rich condition with the stock head it is mostly notice during no wake zones I compared this head to a stock milled head The head was supposed to be setup for pump fuel But I question that since the compression jumped from the stock 150 to around 185 plus The compression check were always done with the same guage Squish was set at the recommended 75 thous from the head supplier The head was tested while using a Solas 1520 Concord What I found was the modifed milled OEM head was very close to deto with this setup A increase amount of fuel was needed to stop the pinging and deto in the mid a modifed motor Thats my you see Miller designing these heads for the public Since I did mention the TPS sensor which comes on the 99 models and above Please dont touch it if it is working correctly They either work or they dont And if they are not working beleive me you will know A simple test is to unhook it and see how slow your ski takes off out of the hole LOL They can be checked with a volt meter if necessary Another advantage in using the Miller Head is cost You can inspect your top end Step 3 Buying the correct prop and what pump to use This is probably your most important item that you will buy for your boat Ben Step 3 The best prop for your boat is a Solas 1520 Concord Period Why Because its the best all around prop Some props will run close to it in top speed but never out performs and nothing and I me nothing will give you better mid range acceleration It is the best king of hill drag racing prop out there I still use this same bone stock prop on my 1050 big bore This prop really hooks well out of the hole the Scat swirl does this best but gives up speed on the top end The stock swirl prop will never give you the mid range speed that the Concord will deliver It normally will cost your rpms to drop 150 two 200 rpms But speed will still increase to 1 to 15 mph over a bone stock prop To get the most out of this prop with the currect mods listed you need to turn it a min rpm of 6920 rpms With this prop you should now be running a So What is the best pump to use The stock bronze pump in the 98 or 99 models or the 2000 and up plastic style I have ran both and back to back back to back back to back back to back testing You get the picture In the same day the plastic pump wins out while testing 3 different props in each pump The plastic pump was nearly 2 mph faster with some props verus the bronze pump The plastic pump loaded the motor less than the bronze pump The added 100 to 150 rpms over the bronze setup I dont recommend cutting the back of the blades off the Concord It will cause to much prop spin on a high performance 951 You can slightly bend the prop if you need to get the prop to work a little better in your rpm range I wont hurt the prop if done correctly My sources also tell me the Concord has gone through 3 different changes since it was first produce I beleive the first ones were slighter bigger than the ones that are produced now I beleived when Solas saw the newer style plastic pumps come out in I have also tried the 1620 Concord Did not like it Was much bigger than the 1520 and just put to much load on the motor To be honest this is one subject that we will never figure out We will always be looking for something better What might look good on paper might work like crap on the water It always seems when you send a prop out when it gets back it never is like you want it Thats why I like the 1520 just stick it on and ride Price new around 17500 can be found used 10282006 0812 PM 2 YudLuz2 Join Date Jun 2005 Location Flowood MS Posts 1691 1 132 Step 4 More cheap mods and loosing a little weight Posted Fri Jan 16 2004 333 am Post subject Step 4 Lets do a few more cheap mods before we spend anymore of the wifes money LOL The first thing that comes to mind is we need to get rid of a little more weight and get that sound baffer out of the boat that does you no good By removing the baffer the big black plastic box talking up so much between your water box and exhaust outlet we are saving us some pain in the future These babies will crack or get holes in them over time Ive seen a few melt away do to lack of water running thur your exhaust hoses Every had a water line pop off going to your pipe It doesnt take much to get this baby Well for around 30 its gone and you save a little weight and you make more room in your hull Hint good place to hide a NOS bottle in a XPL But I actually have a small boat paddle that I mount there You never know when you might need it spark you name it sooner or later it will happen The correct parts to bypass this feature can be order from a older 98 model ski that doesnt have this feature Also I believe they dont have them on the ones across the big ocean from us Now what about all the rubber wrapped around your water box its a pain in the a but rip it out This stuff will get wet and when removed while still wet weighs almost 10 pounds Hell one of those high dollar carbon fiber hoods dont save you that much weight Well since I also like to look at the way the air comes in on the XPL Make mods anywhere that can help you increase your airflow to your motor On my ski I trimmed the hoses up front and the two in the rear about 14 away from the bottom No need for the air to go straight to the bottom of the hull thats not where the carbs are located Underneath your seat is a rubber plug Its there to get to your pickup in your gas tank Leave it off It helps get more air to your engine And you get the picture clean everything up make sure your boat doesnt have extra water in it and its nice and clean inside your hull like it is on the outside of it You will never see my boat dirty on the inside I take much pride in it I even take the time to wipe down each part before I put the motor back together LOL Here is a little hint about comparing EGTs of your boat to someone elses boat Dont do it To many things can make a difference For instance the 98 XPL has a larger water outlet at the rear of the boat Sure it looks the same as my 99 but when you remove the hose you will see a restrictor at the pump that cuts down on the flow of water going out the back of your boat What does this do On the 99 model it will keep the water in your pipe a little longer normally keeping the Since we are on a low budget its time to do some porting You dont need to be a master to do some cleanup work on your stock exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe If you want to add a little more on the top end add a exhaust head pipe from a 97 12 GSXL There white and bigger than a ported stock pipe Now paint it black so it will look like your stock OEM pipe Your friends will never know Trust me on that one You will not need to change the lower half of the pipe there Step 5 next Ride plates Intake grates and handling Posted Sat Jan 17 2004 352 am Post subject Step 5 Its time to make a decision on if you want a great handling machine or a fast ski I think you can have both with the XPL Remember a lot of these mods with scrub off a good amount of top end speed Something you have been spending money on all year So dont do it theres a reason why I like the stock stuff It works pretty dam good First lets look at the sponsons They will make your ski turn like a dream machine Im still running the stock sponson on my ski the ski turns well enough for me in stock form Im more of a straight line guy so its something I normally do last when I get bored The one thing you must watch is what type you install You do need to watch how far down the sponson will hang and determine if they may scrub off speed Usually if they do its a small amount I would love to hear from somebody that Next on the list is intake grates If you want to maintain the best speeds the only grate that will do that is the stock one By doing some trick grinding on the back side of the grate it can give you additon 5 mph if you know what you are doing Removing the grate and running without one will slow you down around 16 mph Its not like the X4 hull got to have a grate on it I have also tested a one off half stock grate that I design myself Speed still did not match my orginal on my XPL in rough water using the stock grate That includes 75 to 80 mph GPRs The thing about those boats they easily loose 10 to 13 mph when they hit choppy waters There setup for smooth but the XPL will always maintain there speed through the choppy water You just got to hang on Here are my results testing with a worx grate verus my stock tweaked grate The hookup out of the hole was much better with the worx grate mainly because its loading the pump much better But a really didnt see any gain going through the chop And in light chop I did loose speed too The day I was testing I ran across a Triple pipe Ultra 150 I had ran him before and pulled away from him in glass water I was having a harder time with this ski in light chop and I knew I should have pulled Step 6 Reeds and intake manifolds and addition carb mods A little money spent but well worth it Posted Sun Jan 18 2004 316 am Post subject Step 6 Aftermarket Reeds Good or Bad Well I only recommend one and those are the Rinaldi reeds Thats what I have been running in my big bore motor for over a year without any problems Some common problems people are reporting that other aftermarket reeds tend to break after a very short time If I remember correctly I paid 250 for my reeds and Team Deans spacer I felt it was a very small gain in performance but something that needed to go with my big bore motor My orginal stock reeds look great when I removed them so I can So no need to run out and buy a set if you need to spend your money on other mods first If you install them on your stock intake manifolds they work just fine You will need to grind down a spot small block on each side of the manifolds so the reeds will set down flat against the spacer No big deal with a dremel You also need to use a little longer bolts because you are using a spacer now some spacers miller verus others are thicker This is allowing your reeds to be pulled away from your Intake Mainfold Since Im still running stock oil injection I decided to go with a RD mainfold They have the holes where you can slide your stock oil injections right into place They work well and I would either buy them or the Miller setup The RD does have a thicker manifold putting your carbs farther away from your motor Milling down the manifold it can be made the same thickest of the Miller one Something I will be doing soon My peak rpms didnt increase with the RD but it did hit harder out of the hole Improve in More carb mods 10282006 0815 PM 3 YudLuz2 Join Date Jun 2005 Location Flowood MS Posts 1691 1 132 Step 7 Timing MPEM mods and talk about aftermarket rev limiters Posted Thu Jan 29 2004 551 am Post subject Step 7 Timming and modifed ignitions Its time to move forward and this next mod will be required to have for the final mods you will be adding to your boat You have two main things to pick from a modifed reprogram MPEM and Micro Touch Rev limiter and timing control or a advent ignition There is also one from RD There seems to be a problem from the one from RD I think the manufacture never produce any units I tried for many months to get one with no luck That leaves Micro Touch good company with good people to stand behind there product I have tried there unit on my 99XPL Nice unit you can change the base timing timing curve retard rate adjust the rev limiter and run two water silonds Many custom settings are built into this unit The The main problem is none of the timing curves are any better than the stock curve on the stock Seadoo MPEM Thanks to Seadoo they already have done a excellent job on the 951 motor boats I have notice a slight hesitation or delay using the Micro unit I think this is mainly because of the unit still using the stock TPS sensor It requires it to gather more information before making is decision to send this information to the brain A lot of things are being considered throttle position load on motor rpms of motor to name a few sensor This is not found on the 98 XPL This is what makes the reprogram MPEM stand apart The cost is only 300 and you dont need to cut any wires it just bolts back on And it doesnt effect your standard features in which you might want to check hours base timing all with your standard seadoo programer found at your local dealer The improvements are done by tweaking the stock curve based on what mods are on your boat Enter the world of tweak reprogrammed MPEMs My MPEM was setup with two addition degrees of timing on the bottom up until 7100 rpms Where it starts a retard of around 12 degree per 100 rpms Design for pump gas setup There are other race curves I have tried a 5 degree advance unit that really kicks a but requires race fuel Most of my ride time is done with the MPEM advance another 4 degrees on top of the orginal setup This is done by moving the base timing that was preset at 5 on the Seadoo programmer Good to verify this by going to your local dealer Programmer number 5 on the MPEM stands for a ignition timing correction of 1 degrees So your base timing could still vary based on what the good old timing light reads Here is your timing correction chart to go by on the 9511050 motors 2 3 degrees timing highest setting of advance 3 2 4 1 1 0 5 1 degree timing 6 2 7 3 8 4 lowest setting For your reference my unit is always ran at least 2 which equals to 4 more degrees advance from the orginal set point So how do I get even more Well thats a little trick When its time to go race the big dogs I will add a little more race gas and add two more degrees of timing This is done by drilling larger holes in the mag cup There are six holes with bolts that have very large oversize heads on them holding the mag cup in place You will need to take a drill bit and bore Remember there is a reason why a have choosen my mods and how I setup everything on my boat Its all about the right combo Everything matters Thats why we dont mismatch parts and I only test one item at a time So how much timing is to much That is so easy to figure out on the 9511050 motors its almost to easy The key is knowing your motor listen to what its telling you this is probably the hardest thing to learn This motor will give off a knock or ping to let you know when there is deto going on If I dont hear it then I dont worry But you may never learn to use this method I never go out to do some tuning with another boat you must be where you can hear your motor and Step 8 The most important one of all You got all the parts now that you need whats your next step Ported 951 motor Piped stock motor Or Big Bore 1050 motor Your porting answers to your most important questions Learn about actual porting gains and who to use for those services The answer is easy You are about to learn more than you need to know Back to top Posted Mon Feb 02 2004 128 am Post subject Well I thought I would give at least a update on my boat tonight I have tried two other mods on my boat One a new ride plate from a stock 97XP And two a modifed stock head done from Mark at CalJet on my 1050 motor The ride plate seemed to help around 1 mph considering I have ran these rpms before at a lesser speed before on the glass water So I think this is a nice gain on glass water A can tell a big difference in how this plate is made than my stock one Lighter and the rear is angle up in the rear to get the nose up more I did have to tweak the opening it the speedo gear and use some right stuff to fill a small gap It was a quick install so I do need to go Back to A quick update one my new head The head has a better cut and a more aggressive squish radius The Miller domes that I was using were only 49cc but they were cut for the Miller Wisco pistons Im using a semi flat Rotax piston that requires something different I will be trying in the future some special cut domes for the Miller head for these pistons I think they start off as 42cc before they are redone The OEM head only had 70 thous squish compared to 50 thous on my Miller domes But the Miller domes are not I will be increasing the squish clearance to at least 60 or lower by using a thinner comestic 1050 head gasket or a 3 or 4 hole base gasket to tighten things up a bit Should be able to add another 5 to 10 psi of compression in the process making my prop spin even worse Speaking of compression I dont have a clue my starterbendix gear has pretty much crap out and barely starts the motor so I cant get a reading on my gauge The OEM head should be around 1351 now I only mixed 1 gallon a race fuel to almost 3 gas of pump fuel with no deto I also was running full water to my stinger with no jet which increase deto too So I believe I could back off some timing and hard jetting and run this head with 93 octane But considering how bad some stations gas is compared Whats next You got three things to pick from I will list them in order 1 Big Bore setup 2 Coffman Pipe 3 Ported 951 cylinder Do the big bore next Why Its a kick a setup My Big Bore with a completely stock bottom end kicked a lot of butt with just using the stock OEM pipe It can reach speeds above 68 mph and accelerate like a animal Its as reliable as a stock cylinder setup and should last a good 100 hours before a rebuild is required It runs on pump fuel and will allow you to beat most of the Coffman pipe boats out there on the lake I never lost any type of drag race to any twin pipe RXX or Next Coffman pipe If you are just going to bolt a coffman pipe on you will probably be in for a surprise Why I have seen many coffman boats run poorly some barely faster Others blow up quickly Octane requirements go up and if the boat is not prop correctly you wont have speed or performance Having the boat off in jetting or prop size just a little can make you have a boat that doesnt perform to your standards and will stay in the shop So compared to the big bore you got to have your stuff just right where the big 10282006 0816 PM 4 YudLuz2 Join Date Jun 2005 Location Flowood MS Posts 1691 1 132 951 Porting on a stock pipe boat Every hear about the level one guys that are about to get some port work and are about to go out and kick some a Well its not going to happen with just adding this mod to your boat without anything else Its time to get your feelings hurt You just got a nice port job but guess what It didnt do crap no gain maybe it is faster Well go ahead and wish and throw your money away because its not going to happen Why Well the stock cylinder on a 951 is very good from the factory its Step 9 Big Bore Whats involved Install Jetting Why does it work What does it feel like to ride one of these boats Step 9 Big Bore Whats involved Install Since this will probably been a lot of info Im going to break this down into smaller sections First you need a cylinder Why not just keep your stock one for a spare or sell it as a complete setup You can buy a damage cylinder these days for 35 to 100 Someone sold one on ebay for 75 today The only thing needed was a bore job Since the bore will be 9189 mm most any cylinder will work except the ones with crack sleeves But picking up a used sleeve for 15 is no problem So you can see where Im coming from now dont throw away those damage cylinders there really worth something to some 9199 and 9209 Most seizures can be easily cleaned up with the same size bore Clearance is going to be at least 7 thous on this setup And you can get ready to rumble very quickly Some people like to have long break in periods But got to tell you the truth the choice is yours I have bought many brand new skis year after year and I never took it easy on one single unit Always ran them wide open throttle from the time they came off the trailer LOL But never were they slower than any ski that A difference of 60 to 70 thous is like night and day and good for around 8 psi Much improved acceleration For the record my cylinder was deck 3 different times its now had a total of 32 thous taken off the top and I use a 5 hole base gasket now I will talk more on my tweaked setup later and tell you what gains I had by trying some trick stuff Like decked cylinder on the exhaust pipe side Beleive it or not its going to take the whole summer to test my new ideas and setup Im Install Its easy Just like rebuilding a top end Everything just bolts down like a stocker Its probably going to be easier for you to install it while your motor is out of your boat But I dont do it this way Its a pain to get the pistons started because the sleeves are cut away where you are pushing the rings up into The problem is they dont catch until they get a lot deeper into the bottom of the sleeve So you might want to find a friend Be happy theres only one piston ring to deal with Thats Step 10 The good stuff Reaching out for 75 mph Stroker NOS 10282006 0903 PM 5 rossnemo Join Date Jul 2006 Posts 2431 1 100 Hello Ben first of all great input on the 951 I love that

http://greenliving.lovetoknow.com/Recycling_Plastic_Bags | Recycling Plastic Bags By Sandra Ketcham With over a trillion plastic bags used annually around the world , recycling plastic bags is essential to waste reduction and the conservation of non - renewable natural resources . Even as countries and cities across the globe take steps to reduce the use of plastic bags , it is safe to assume they are here to stay , necessitating a mindfulness of ecological sustainability . There is still a lot of effort needed , too ; according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , only 7 percent of plastic bags were recycled in 2007 . Importance of Recycling Plastic Bags Plastic bags are one of the most widespread forms of litter . In fact , the not - for - profit Center for Marine Conservation identifies them as one of the top types of trash collected during coastline cleanups . They are discarded in parks and on highways , get caught in trees , clog gutters and sewers , and even pose threats to ocean life that mistake them for food . But the most significant problem with discarded plastic bags - and the reason they are so prevalent as litter - is that they are not biodegradable Photodegradation Instead of biodegrading , plastic bags undergo a process known as photodegradation . Photodegradation involves the chemical breakdown of a substance into smaller pieces due to the absorption of sunlight . Plastic bags decompose for at least hundreds of years , eventually contaminating our soil and water . Respirometry Tests Although 500 years is a widely cited estimate , scientists do not know exactly how long plastic bags take to decompose . They have only been around for about half a century , so there is no empirical evidence to provide a concrete timeline . Scientists estimate decomposition rates with respirometry tests . These tests involve placing waste into an environment designed to stimulate decomposition and using carbon dioxide emissions to determine a breakdown rate . Since microbes do not eat the polyethylene from which plastic bags are made , there are no carbon dioxide emissions to measure . The Environmental Benefits The polyethylene used in the production of plastic bags comes from petroleum , a non - renewable resource . Therefore , in addition to reducing unsightly , potentially damaging litter and solid waste in landfills , recycling plastic bags saves 11 barrels of oil per ton of bags recycled , according to the EPA . Besides new bags , recycled plastic bags also go toward making composite lumber and pellets or resin for the production of other plastic goods . In this way , recycling plastic bags contributes to conservation of energy and materials in other industries , as well . Paper Versus Plastic Bags There are a few compelling reasons why plastic bags may be a more eco - friendly option than paper bags . The EPA points out that production of plastic bags requires 40 percent less energy than the production of paper bags , and that paper bag manufacturing creates 70 percent more air pollution and 50 percent more water pollution . In addition , recycling plastic bags uses a staggering 91 percent less energy than recycling paper bags . Plastic bags are also the greener choice where solid waste is concerned ; 1000 plastic bags equal 15 pounds of waste , while the same number of paper bags creates 140 pounds of waste . Whether plastic or paper bags are more environmentally friendly is under debate . There really is no right answer , and fortunately , the spread of reusable bags has provided an alternative . How To Contribute To Recycling Efforts Most types of plastic bags can be recycled . This includes dry cleaner bags , food storage baggies , newspaper bags , much of the plastic packaging used for food and household items ( such as bread sacks , cereal box liners , fresh produce bags , and wrap around cases of bottled beverages and packs of napkins , paper towels , and toilet paper ) , and packaging used for furniture and electronics . Cling wraps , heavily painted plastic bags , certain pre - packaged food bags ( especially frozen foods ) , and those treated with substantial adhesive material can not be recycled . Plastic bags should be clean , dry , and empty when deposited for recycling . Where to Recycle Your Plastic Bags Many grocery stores serve as drop - off points for plastic bag recycling .

http://greenmountaingrills.com/recipes/bacon-ring-burger/ | Bacon Ring Burger PREP TIME 15 MINS IDLE TIME N / A HOURS COOK TIME 1 HOURS PELLETS Gold BLEND SERVES 2 - 4 PEOPLE Bacon Ring Burger We saw the Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings on Facebook and had to have a closer look . You ’ ll see that I made some changes to fit in with what I had in mind . So , we made these for our Date Night and filled them with sautéed garlicky mushrooms . We call them Bacon Rings , what a treat , this is our take on the bacon ring burger . Ingredients : Bacon Ring Burger 2 ½ lbs hamburger 80 / 20 1 ½ tsp coarse ground black pepper 1 Tbsp . GMG Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub Provolone Cheese Condiments of choice Ingredients : Mushrooms ¾ lbs baby bella mushrooms , sliced 1 Tbsp . butter 1 Tbsp . minced fresh garlic 3 Tbsp . shallots or green onions , sliced Ingredients : Bacon Rings 5 large sweet onion slices 1 lb . bacon ½ cup Country Bob ’ s Apple Chipotle Sauce GMG Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub toothpicks Bacon Ring Burger Prep : Make your Burgers and Put Them in the Refrigerator Mix your seasonings together with the hamburger and make your patties . We made 5 out of 2 ½ pounds . Then , place them in the refrigerator . ( Burgers hold together better if they go on the grill cold ) Sauté the mushrooms and shallots in the butter and set them aside . Put them on the grill when the burgers go on to heat up . Sauté the Mushrooms and Shallots Coat the onion rings with the Country Bob ’ s All Purpose Sauce and season with the Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub . Wrap each onion ring with 3 strips of bacon and secure with your toothpicks . Yes , 3 strips of bacon . I smoked these for an hour at 225 ° degrees ( 107 ° c ) . Pull them off the grill and turn it up to 350 ° degrees ( 174 ° c ) for the burgers . We put the burgers on for 6 minutes a side with a quarter turn at 3 minutes Wrap Onion with Bacon Cooking Directions : Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill To prepare the grill for cooking , check your pellet supply – top off or change flavors as needed . Scrape grill grates off . Set the temperature to 450 ° degrees and press the “ Start ” button . Give the grill about 15 minutes to reach temperature and the grates to burn clean . Note : You can set the start temperature anywhere you want . I do 450 ° ( 230 ° c ) for a quick cleaning burn . Ready for the Cheese I like to smoke everything for at least 30 minutes with an hour being even better . After all the Green Mountain wood pellet grill is a awesome smoker so use it for all the wood smoke flavor it will add to your food . So after the grill comes up to temp and burns clean turn it back down to 225 ° degrees ( 107 ° c ) . Place the bacon wrapped onion rings directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for an hour or so . This is referred to as “ Smoking ” or “ Hot Smoking ” , the temperature is 225 ° degrees ( 107 ° c ) . After an hour , turn the ( Temperature Control ) up to 350 ° degrees ( 174 ° c ) and pull the Bacon wrapped onion rings off the grill . When the grill comes up to temperature put your meat back onto the grill . I did this for 3 minutes per side . The burgers I did for 6 minutes aside with a quarter turn at 3 minutes . Top with cheese and bacon ring . Then fill the bacon ring with the mushrooms . Perfect . U.S.D.A. recommends an internal temp of 165 ° degrees ( 74 ° c ) . We use a Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps or the GMG meat probe for longer cooks . Looking Good Fill with Mushrooms Note : I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe . Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline . Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread , but most you can do anything you can dream , our favorite way to cook . Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like . Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 ° degrees ( 122 ° c ) , anything higher is cooking and there will | [

http://gregladen.com/blog/2011/11/28/how-many-cells-are-there-in-th/ | How many cells are there in the human body ? November 28 , 2011 Uncategorized cells For Teachers Human body Greg Laden Spread the love The other day , Amanda , who is currently teaching AP Biology , noted that among the various sources she had at hand , including a couple of textbooks , the number of cells that make up human body seemed to range from about five trillion to fifty trillion with a scattering of numbers in between . It is not clear why this number matters but I suppose if we want to impress students with the smallness of cells and the complexity of life it is worth pointing out , and if it is worth pointing out it might be I believe the correct answer is in the upper end of the range Amanda cited , and here ’ s why . According to various sources , the following is more or less true : Adult people ( for our present purposes ) weigh between 60 and 90 kg . ( I ’ m ignoring small populations here because this is mainly for American Audiences . ) The amount of bone in a body … the non - cellular part … is between 14 and 20 percent . The amount of blood that is not cellular ( i.e , that is water ) is about 5 % of the total body mass . The mass of a typical body cell is about one gram times ten to the negative nine , or one nanogram . … do the math … I get about 46 to 68 trillion . Bigger people ( using these weight ranges ) would have a larger proportion of lean mass in bone , and if some off that extra mass in the range of human weights is increased fat percentage , then some of that mass is accounted for by either more fat cells or enlarged fat cells . For these and other reasons , as mass goes up the rate of additional cells goes down , so the higher end of that range is probably an exaggeration . There are other things in the body that need to be subtracted as well , Which brings us to a comfortable estimate of “ about 50 trillion , give or take a few trillion . ” Is that satisfactory ? You can get most of the base numbers here , of course .

http://grenzer.blogspot.com/2010/05/austrian-grenzers-krajisnici.html | The Naked Truth Monday , May 24 , 2010 Austrian Grenzers ( Krajisnici ) Austria - Hungarian Balkan frontier , borderland between Christian Europe and the Islam ( Ottoman Turks ) has been defended in the 17th and 18th centurys by extraordinary , unique organisation of hardy Serb and Croatian communities who were granted farmland in return for armed service ( six months on land and another 6 in service of the Emperor . These Grenzers ( Krajisnici ) , masters of guerrilla warfare : " for the most part , very efficient in skirmishing , especially the Serbians , whose favorite warfare is one of ambuscades " . . . were later incorporated Grenzers - Border Infantry . " The most enthusiastic troops " and the only ones looking warlike in the entire Austrian infantry . Napoleon Bonaparte " Far from being passive conscript hordes , the Grenzer had a lively sense of their dignity and what was due to them , and in this respect they may be compared with the yeoman archers of late medieval England . " ( Duffy - " Instrument of War " Vol I , p 304 ) Their uniforms and fierce demeanor gave them a brigandlike air that seemed to portend great deeds on the battlefield . The Grenzers came from military frontier between Austria and Turkey settled by Christian refugees . During peacetime the Grenzers spent 7 months of every year guarding the frontier . They were raised as militia but were considered by army officials as something between light and line infantry . The Grenzers were given training in marksmanship and skirmishing and basics of linear tactics . When attempts were made to train the Grenzer as line infantry they turned out to be not Organization There were 17 - 18 Grenzer regiments each of two or three battalions . During wartime one battalion of every regiment was left to guard the border with Ottoman Empire . The other battalion or two joined the regular army and were part of advance guards . Regiments : 1 . Liccaner / Gospic 2 . Otocaner / Otocac 3 . Oguliner / Ogulin 4 . Szluiner / Karlstadt 5 . Warasdiner - Kreuzer / St . Belovar 6 . Warasdiner - St . Georger / St . Belovar 7 . Brooder / Vincovce 8 . Gradiscaner / Neugradisca 9 . Peterwardiner / Mitrovitz 10 . First Banal / Glina 11 . Second Banal / Petrina 12 . Deutschbanater / Pancsova 13 . Wallachian - Illyrian / Karansebes 14 . First Szekler / Csik - Szereda 15 . Second Szekler / Kezdy - Vararhely 16 . First Wallachian / Orlath 17 . Second Wallachian / Naszod ( In 1802 the soldiers of Grenz regiments from the regions around Glina and Petrina were mix of Orthodox and Catholics . The regiments from Lika and Petrovaradin were Orthodox , while the regiments from Varazdin , Slavonski Brod and Gradiska were made of Catholics . ) Quality of Grenzers The Grenzers lacked weapons , uniforms , training and discipline . For these reasons the Austrian generals considered them as something well below the regular infantry . Despite the shortcomings however they performed quite well in combat ( Malgaboreth , Eggmuhl , Wagram ) . When many Austrian regulars fled at Austerlitz the Grenzers fought hard and suffered 66 % casualties ! According to some experts , including Christopher Duffy , they were " the most enthusiastic troops " of the Austrian army . During retreat after Marengo ( 1800 ) when all order broke , two battalions of Grenzers The French had good opinion about the Grenzers and considered them as the only ones looking warlike in the entire Austrian army . Napoleon had no hesitation in using these wild men . After the defeat in 1809 Austria ceded some territories and the 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th , 10th and 11th Grenzer Regiment went into French service . They served for Napoleon until 1814 . Below are two battles ( of several ) where the Grenzers deserved greater respect from the French : Combat at Smarje ( St . Marein - Slovenia ) where the Grenzers defeated Italian Guard . On 12th September 1813 Eugene took the Italian Guard , 2 battalions of Italian light infantry , 2 squadrons of Italian dragoons and horse battery and advanced on Smarje . The Austrians were under Oberst Milutinovich : - 6 companies of Gradiscaner Grenzer - 2 companies of St . Georger Grenzer - 1 / 2 company of hussars and 2 3pdr light cannons Eugene sent 1 battalion to turn Austrian left and 1 battalion against Austrian right flank . In the center after a short firefight the Austrian skirmishers ( 1 / 2 company of Grenzer sharpshooters ) were pushed back by Italian skirmishers . Soon 1 battalion of the Italian Guard appeared on Austrian flank and Oberst Milutinovich detached 1 1 / 2 company to face them . The Grenzers delivered a volley and immediately attacked with cold steel . Although Milutinovich was wounded his Grenzers drove the guardsmen away ! ( Nafziger / Gioannini - " The Defense of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Northern Italy , 1813 - 1814 " ) Combat at Austerlitz 1805 against French infantry defending Tellnitz and vineyards . The village of Tellnitz was a very strong position , there were vineyards , a ditch , the garden walls and two rows of houses . It was defended by 3rd Line Regiment of GdD Legrand ' s division . The narrow space between the Goldbach stream and the Satchan Pond offered a very limited frontage to the Grenzers , the attackers . At 7 am , the fighting began . General Kienmayer sent forward the II / 2nd Szekler Grenz Regiment ( approx . 500 bayonets ) under Mjr . Diveky " to sweep the French skirmsihers from the At 8 am the three battalions attacked Tellnitz but without success . The French pursued them until the vineyards . Kienmayer rallied the three battalions and with two battalions of 2nd Szekler counterattacked . The Austrians took the ditch but both sides were equally exhausted and stayed where they were . Kienmayer reported the situation to his superior and recived support of Russian infantry . The Russian 7th Jagers and two battalions of the Grenzers attacked with a cheer and poured into Tellnitz . They also took a bridge over the Goldbach Stream .

http://gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2013/09/ever-been-stuck-talking-to-someone-who-keeps-telling-you-how-wrong-you-are/ | September 20 , 2013 Ever Been Stuck Talking to Someone Who Keeps Telling You How Wrong You Are ? Back by popular demand is the assay I wrote about the " oppositional conversational style . " This post really seems to strike a chord with people . Which surprised , me at first , because when I identified OCS , I thought I was the only person who had ever noticed it . Turns out that many people have noticed it ! From both sides of the OCS - dominated conversation . A person with oppositional conversational style is a person who , in conversation , disagrees with and corrects whatever you say . He or she may do this in a friendly way , or a belligerent way , but this person frames remarks in opposition to whatever you venture . I noticed this for the first time in a conversation with a guy a few months ago . We were talking about social media , and before long , I realized that whatever I ’ d say , he ’ d disagree with me . If I said , “ X is important , ” he ’ d say , “ No , actually , Y is important . ” For two hours . And I could tell that if I ’ d said , “ Y is important , ” he would ’ ve argued for X . I saw this style again , in a chat with friend ’ s wife who , no matter what casual remark I made , would disagree . “ That sounds fun , ” I observed . “ No , not at all , ” she answered . “ That must have been really difficult , ” I said . “ No , for someone like me , it ’ s no problem , ” she answered . Etc . Since those conversations , I ’ ve noticed this phenomenon several times . Here are my questions about oppositional conversational style : Is OCS a strategy that particular people use consistently ? Or is there something about me , or about that particular conversation , that induced these people to use it ? Along those lines , is OCS a way to try to assert dominance , by correction ? That ’ s how it feels , and also … Do people who use OCS recognize this style of engagement in themselves ; do they see a pattern in their behavior that ’ s different from that of most other people ? Do they have any idea how tiresome it can be ? In the case of the first example , my interlocutor used OCS in a very warm , engaging way . Perhaps , for him , it ’ s a tactic to drive the conversation forward and to keep it interesting . This kind of debate did indeed throw up a lot of interesting insights and information . But , I must admit , it was wearing . In the second example , the contradictory responses felt like a challenge . I described oppositional conversational style to my husband and asked if he knew what I was talking about . He did , and he warned me , “ Watch out ! Do n ’ t start thinking about this , and then start to do it yourself . ” I had to laugh , because he knows me very well . I have a strong tendency towards belligerence — for instance , it ’ s one reason I basically quit drinking — and I could easily fall into OCS . ( I just hope I do n ’ t exhibit OCS already , which is quite possible . ) But I do recognize that to be on the receiving end of the oppositional conversational style — to have someone keep telling you that you ’ re wrong , over and over — is not pleasant . It ’ s wearing at best , and often highly annoying . Even in the case of my first example , when the OCS had a fun , friendly spirit , it took a lot of self - command for me to stay calm and un - defensive . Many points could have been made in a less “ Let me set you straight ” way . And in the second example , I felt patronized . Here I was , trying to make pleasant conversation , and she kept contradicting me . It was all I could do not to roll my eyes and retort , “ Fine , whatever , actually I do n ’ t care if you had fun or not . ” Now , I ’ m not arguing that everyone should agree all the time . Nope . I love a debate ( and I ' m trained as a lawyer , which definitely has made me more comfortable , perhaps too comfortable , with confrontation ) . But it ’ s not much fun when every single statement in a casual conversation is met with , “ Nope , you ’ re wrong ; I ’ m right . ” Skillful conversationalists can explore disagreements and make points in ways that feel constructive and positive , rather than combative or What do you think ? Do you recognize it in other people – or in yourself ? How I love to try to identify patterns in human behavior . Abstainers and moderators Over - buyers and under - buyers Alchemists and leopards .

He has two siblings , an older sister , Zola , and a younger sister , Ellis Contents show History Edit Meredith ' s Pregnancy Meredith found out she was pregnant three weeks into her pregnancy , a few months after Mark died . She told Derek by buying a shirt for Zola that said " World ' s Best Big Sister " . At first , she was convinced that she would miscarry , which is why she only told him , and not even Cristina . ( " I Was Made for Lovin ' You " ) Birth Meredith went into labor in the middle of a super storm . The labor was going smoothly until the OB determined that the baby had face presentation . He was then born via emergency c - section in the dark during the storm . In the operating room , the doctors had to hold flashlights so that Connie , the OB , could see to deliver him . After he was born , his breathing was shallow and his sats were low , so he was taken to the NICU to be monitored and receive oxygen . After he was born , Shane noticed that Meredith had suffered from a massive splenic hemorrhage caused by her fall down the stairs . Miranda Bailey performed surgery to stop the hemorrhage and saved Meredith ' s life , thus Meredith named her son after her . ( " Perfect Storm " ) Meredith ' s Attack A few weeks after Meredith was attacked by a patient , Arizona and Alex brought Zola , Bailey , and Ellis in to see her . However , the three of them were too scared by her appearance and the visit was brief . After she had recovered , the family was happily reunited at home . The Sound of Silence Fifth Birthday For his fifth birthday , he wanted a superhero party . After Alex had to back out of helping set up the party to operate on a patient and the entertainment cancelled , Link offered to help her . They set up the party and Link even pretended to be Thor when Bailey asked if he was . Help , I ' m Alive Thatcher ' s Death When Thatcher died , he left presents for Ellis , Bailey , and Zola in his closet . Meredith took those present to her kids and told them about their grandpa . The Winner Takes It All Notes and Trivia He was named after his father and Miranda Bailey , his parents ' colleague who saved Meredith after she delivered him . For his first Halloween , he was dressed as a pumpkin . He is almost always called Bailey . While he was being watched by his aunt Maggie , he once spilled an entire bag of flour on the floor . Before falling unconscious , Meredith said that she knew his name but was put under anaestethic before she could tell anyone . It is unknown if she had the name Bailey in mind at the time , as Bailey had n ' t saved her yet . Before his birth , Meredith and Cristina occasionally referred to him as " fetus . " Before his sex was determined , Meredith referred to him as " she " while Derek refered to him as " he " . When discussing names , Derek said he liked William and Meredith liked Sebastian . He is the only one of his parents ' three kids to be born in the hospital where they work , as well as the only one born in Seattle . He went through a phase of saying funny before every sentence .

External shots of the hospital are of VA Supulveda Ambulatory Care Center in Los Angeles . As of the middle of season twelve , exterior shots are filmed at the West Los Angeles College . According to Dr . Lauren Boswell , the owners of the hospital ( Meredith , Cristina , Derek , Callie , Arizona , Richard , and Jackson ) are called the " Grey Sloan Seven " . Alex Karev is now also part - owner of the hospital , as Cristina gave him her shares . However , he is not part of the board , because Cristina legally could n ' t give him her board seat without the consent of the other board members . It ' s unknown if he ' s also considered part of the Grey Sloan Seven now or if this nickname is only intended for the original buyers . Richard Webber is also a part - owner of the hospital ; despite not being one of the board directors , he is a board member . According to Dr . Graham Maddox Dr . Nicole Herman has made this hospital the go - to hospital for fetal cardiac intervention . It ' s presumed this is still the case even after Herman quit , because Herman taught Arizona her ways . The new badge IDs issued by Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital correct the staff ' s departments : Yang Karev Avery who previously had " Surgery " as their departments , were updated to their respective specialties of " Cardiothoracic Surgery , " " Pediatric Surgery , " and " Plastic Surgery . " As of season twelve , Jackson ' s badge was updated to show his department as " Reconstructive Surgery " . Derek ' s ID consistently shows " Neurosurgery " instead of alternating back and forth between that and " Surgery . " General surgeons ' IDs no longer have " Surgery " as a department , but have been updated to show " General Surgery . " Surgical interns ' IDs no longer show " Surgery ; " instead , the IDs show " Surgical Intern " . However as of Time Stops , the interns ' badges have reverted back to show " Surgery " . Owen ' s ID badge no longer shows " Chief of Surgery " , but rather his department . Both Owen ' s April ' s department is now listed as " Emergency Room / Trauma Surgery " . Nurse ID badges have been updated as of season twelve , showing an additional , larger section of the badge indicating they are R.N. ' s . Adopted from aviation regulations , Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital has a " 2 - Challenge Rule " that allows two surgeons to override a third surgeon ' s treatment plan within the OR . However , this rule is not always used . The address of the hospital is 15000 Centennial Drive Seattle , Washington 98109 . The phone number for the hospital is ( 206 ) 555 - 6000 .

http://grilldome.com/HowCeramicCookersWork.html | Learn why GRILL DOME kamados are superior to metal cookers . . . 1 ) First , how do metal grills work ? Nearly 8 out of 10 households own an outdoor barbecue grill or smoker in the US . Over the years , consumers have widely adopted gas or charcoal metal grills , as they are the most available product on the market . While metal grills come in many different shapes and sizes and designs , they all essentially work the same . Metals are highly conductive materials that dissipate a lot of energy which has to be continually replaced . This appetite for energy can not only be inefficient but can also dry out foods . BTU ’ s - A BTU ( British Thermo Unit ) is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 60 ° F to 61 ° F at a constant pressure . It ’ s usually stated as a number for the whole grill and a per burner number One of the core features of a gas grill is the amount of BTU ’ s the burner generates . This metric is important for a metal grill since it helps describe how much energy can be created to replace the energy being displaced . Although this metric is important for metal grills , BTU ’ s do n ’ t define the quality of a ceramic grill in a similar fashion as we will further explain later . Gas grills can range from 5,000 BTU ' s to a high of 200,000 . Most two - burner grills weigh 2 ) How moisture and heat is lost in a metal grill Metal grills are usually constructed from stainless steel , cast iron , aluminum or porcelain enamel coated steel . During the cooking process , all these metals dissipate large amounts of heat through the surface of the grill . This heat is continually replaced by drawing more air into the unit . This is why metal grills require burners that can generate high number of BTU ' s , since more heat must be generated to replace the heat being lost . As more air is drawn into the unit , the air is burned by the burner , and SUMMARY : A metal grill has the following disadvantages over a ceramic grill - 1 ) Metal grills burn fuel inefficiently and require sophisticated burners to generate high BTU ’ s to continually replace the energy radiated through the metal walls 2 ) A metal grill has to draw in much more air to burn as the heat is being dissipated , which will dry out the food as the draft out carries moisture and juices out with it 3 ) Now , how does Grill Dome work ? Grill Dome ceramic grills have been developed to eliminate the inefficiency of metal grills and ensure your food remains juicy and tasty . Properly designed ceramics can lock in the juices of the meat and circulate them back onto the food , and can significantly reduce heat loss and the need to burn fuel inefficiently to replace the heat . Grill Dome uses a three part solution for the issues found in metal grills – a premium blend of ceramics , efficient airflow design , and precise and heavy - duty construction . Click to enlarge 1 . TERAPEX Ceramics - First and foremost it is important to note that not all ceramics are created equal . Terapex Ceramics are the latest brand of ceramic technology from GRILL DOME . As you might expect , the most important quality of any ceramic grill is the recipe or blend of ceramics used in the grill . Furthermore , the two most important qualities for ceramics in a ceramic cooker are the porosity and density of the ceramics . When comparing ceramic grills , the blend of ceramics is an important attribute to consider . Porous – In order to effectively lock in the juices , the ceramics must be porous and be able to absorb the moisture released during cooking in order to circulate the juices back on to the foods . The porosity of ceramics is analogous to household paper towel soaking up water – the more the ceramics can soak up , the more moisture is available to radiate back onto the foods during the cooking . Density – There is a simple relationship between density and conduction . The denser a material the more conductive it is . Ceramics that are not dense can be extremely effective in capturing the heat generated by fire and storing that energy in the walls and circulating it back onto the food . This heat is preserved instead of being dissipated as in metal grills and therefore requires much less fuel to cook the same amount of food . 2 . Efficient Airflow Design Grill Dome features a time tested and unique airflow design . The grill has a two damper system – one at the bottom that draws in the air , and one on the top that regulates the smoke flavor desired . Air is brought in from the bottom damper and circulated to the charcoal where the fire is burning and the heat and moisture is absorbed by the ceramics , and then the remaining air leaves the unit via the top damper . This type of draft creates a " chimney effect " in the grill , and it is 3 Heavy - Duty Construction Grill Dome walls are THICK ! - almost twice as thick as our competitors . The thicker walls mean we are able to hold even more heat in than other ceramic grills on the market . The unit is constructed not only with heavy duty ceramics that will last a lifetime , but also with heavy - duty hardware . The lid and base are also machined during our manufacturing process to ensure a tight fit and ensure proper air flow is maintained .

http://grillgirl.com/2014/05/2014-weber-genesis-ep-330-review-grill-kicks-ass/ | 2014 Weber Genesis EP 330 Review : This Grill Kicks Ass Posted by Robyn | May 26 , 2014 | Grill Reviews 13 The Genesis is the Grill that ignited my passion for Grilling ! The Weber Genesis – The Grill That Started My Love Affair with Grilling I have a confession to make . I ’ m cheating on my first Weber Genesis with a brand new , Crimson Red , Weber Genesis . As many of you may know , the Weber Genesis is what I call my “ gateway grill ” – ie , that was my introductory drug into grilling . From there I went on to get a Weber Performer , a BGE , a Weber Smoky Mountain … you get the picture ! When people ask me what grill they should buy , my first question is - are you looking for Gas or Charcoal ? If they say Gas , I recommend the Weber Genesis ( and if for charcoal - the Performer is my recommendation ) . What I love about this grill ( and all Webers ) is that they are built to last , and you can replace the parts over time . They are a long term investment versus the cheaper , crappy $ 199 grills you can buy at Home Depot that are made in China . The bottom line is that a Weber is a quality grill that will go the distance with you for years to come . The new Genesis in Crimson Red , and my first Weber Genesis purchased back in 2008 . Still a beauty ! My first Genesis has produced a ton of great meals ! My new Weber Genesis has some features I ’ m really loving over my 5 year old Weber Genesis . Back in 2011 Weber changed the burner configuration on the Genesis . My Genesis 1.0 ( which I got back in 2008 ) had the burners in a horizontal configuration , ie , left to right . This meant when you did direct / vs indirect cooking your zones would be front / back . The new Genesis has burners are in a vertical configuration - this means when doing direct / indirect you can create a left / right The Genesis comes in 2 options - the 310 and the 330 . The 330 offers what is called the “ Sear Station ” while the 310 keeps the standard 3 knob burner configuration . The “ Sear Station ” helps this zone of the grill to achieve temps of 800 - 900 degrees to get those awesome , restaurant quality char marks . The “ Sear Station ” is a dedicated area with an extra burner that , when turned on high in combination with the other burners will reach temps of 800 - 900 degrees and produces restaurant quality sear marks . The knobs on this Weber are in a smarter location - on the front , which gives more room on the side table as a work space . The 1.0 version had the knobs on the side table which took workable space away . ( As an FYI , Weber changed this burner configuration back in 2011 which was a smart move ) . This grill offers serious BTUs ! The Genesis has 2 grate options depending on which version you buy : The E - 330 Model ( colors available for this one include Black , Copper and Green ) comes with porcelain enameled grates . The EP 330 Model ( available in black , cooper , green and the new Crimson Red and Smoke colors ) comes with stainless steel cooking grates . I love that the Genesis offers a fuel gauge - this way you will never be left without gas during a cook ! The color - as you can see from my choices - my first Weber came in a beautiful hunter green that I bought at a specialty retailer , not just off the shelf at Home Depot . This new EP 330 is Crimson Red , is an option that is available only at a specialty retailer . Their other special color for this season is the “ smoke ” color . I like supporting my local guys when I can versus going to Home Depot . The price point for the Genesis EP 330 is $ 999 , while this is not inexpensive , but if you are looking for a grill that will go the distance with you and offer years of grilling enjoyment , this is the one ! You can easily cook for 4 + people on this grill without having to grill in batches as this grill offers plenty of BTUS and grill space . If you are looking to get your first ever gas grill and have a smaller budget , the Weber Spirit is an excellent choice at $ 499 Specs : Weber Genesis EP 330 Stainless Steel Cooking Grates 3 Stainless Steel buners ( “ flavorizer Bars ” ) Sear Station BTUs : 38,000 per hour input Total Cooking Area : 637 square inches Grill Dimensions with Lid Open : If you are in the market for a grill with ample cooking space and plenty of horsepower , this is the grill for you . Weber makes high quality grills that will endure the test of time - the awesome meals and memories you make on this grill will make this grill feel like your trusty best friend , waiting for your next cooking adventure in the back yard . This is a great grill , which is why I have 2 . Previous How To Grill Pizza on The Big Green Egg Next How To Cook The Perfect Steak Using the Reverse Sear Method About The Author Robyn I ' m Robyn , The GrillGirl behind GrillGirl . com . My focus is on healthy , simple and creative recipes on the grill . I encourage women to learn to grill as it is a great way to create healthy , flavorful dishes without all the fuss and clean up in the kitchen . 13 Comments Matt Buckner on September 30 , 2014 at 10 : 57 am I could n ’ t agree with you more ! I bought the Genesis 2013 EP - 330 in Crimson Red in May of 2014 . I have previously owned several Chinese “ throw aways ” that heated inconsistantly and rusted out in no time as if by design . My Genesis cooks evenly and the front slide out grease tray makes cleaning this grill a breeze ! My wife and I grill on it at least 3 days a week without a hickup . Weber currently provides a warranty of 25 years on the lid and tub , 10 on October 5 , 2014 at 4 : 03 pm Could n ’ t agree more Matt ! Mine has a side burner and I ’ ve been so grateful for that , along with my grill , since we have been doing a house renovation and currently have no kitchen . Luckily i ’ ve been able to stage an outdoor cooking area and since I grill everything anyway we are getting by . I ’ ve been using the side burner to make eggs in the mornings … This is my 3rd ( full size ) Weber , they are a great investment . Matt Buckner on October 6 , 2014 at 12 : 11 pm Robyn , you mention that you make breakfast on your grill ’ s side burner . As an accessory you should consider the LittleGriddle stainless steel griddle . I bought the full size GQ230 from Amazon . com . It fits the Genesis 300 series perfectly ! I use it for cheese steaks , pancakes and eggs , and burgers to die for . They also offer a half size model that keeps one side of your grill free for grilling ( of course ) . on October 22 , 2014 at 11 : 33 am Matt , I will definitely have to check this out , thanks so much for the recommendation ! Martin on May 27 , 2016 at 10 : 32 am I like the Crimson red model . It ’ s a shame that Weber do n ’ t seem to make the current models in that color otherwise I would have got one . Currently you can get them in Black , Copper or Green . I have reviewed the latest Genesis grills on my blog comparing the different features in the different models … http : / / livingonyourpatio . com / weber - genesis - s - 310 - review / on June 3 , 2016 at 7 : 05 pm Hi Martin , the only time I ’ ve seen the other colors is when you get them at a Weber Dealer … or perhaps they stopped making it in the brick red color … I ’ ll check out your site ! Dean on March 2 , 2017 at 3 : 00 pm Great info on these grills . How well does “ sear station ” work ? I like the concept and want to make sure its worth the extra money . Dean on March 16 , 2017 at 1 : 12 pm Hi Dean , I like the sear station . I think it ’ s worth the difference in cost . Especially if you want to cook steaks . Brian on September 23 , 2018 at 8 : 21 pm I literally want this exact grill – color and all . I ’ m in the market for a Weber gas grill , and they do n ’ t have one like this in their lineup anymore . I want the sear station and side burner . Side burner only seems to come on the LX line , and sear stations only on their $ 2,000 + Summit line . You can no longer get an E series 3 or 4 burner with sear and side burners . I got bummed as I discovered this , and have scoured the on October 15 , 2018 at 7 : 10 pm sounds like you will have to search craigslist ! ! KEITH A .

Contents show Characteristics Edit When woged , they grow short , snow - white fur over their body , their teeth develop into needle - like fangs , their eyes turn yellow and appear to glow , their ears elongate , and their nails grow into long curved claws , which they often use in fights . Wendigos also have a distinctive brow ridge that curves downward in a half - U shape at the outer ends of their brows , before smoothly transitioning with the rest of their heads . Female Wendigos have a much more subtle woge , but they still gain the fangs Unlike many Wesen whose voice remains unchanged or becomes deeper when they woge , Wendigos gain a higher pitched voice . It is unknown how strong they are because a human , Craig Ferren , was able to handle two Wendigos , though not at once , and he was even able to kill one and severely injure another ( albeit with a gun ) , while Hank was able to handle one by himself . It should be noted , however , that both gentlemen were big men and trained fighters ( a soldier and police officer , respectively ) , and in turn , stronger than average . On the other hand , a single Wendigo was able to fair quite well against a Grimm , even after it had been wounded . They are at least more durable than humans , able to run away moments after an intense fight . It also took several bullets from a hand gun to kill one , even at close range . Behavior In the distant past , Wendigos were savage cave dwellers in which they carelessly stored the remains of their victims . In modern times , however , Wendigos have been forced to adapt , and now store the remains of past meals in pits located in the basements or crawl spaces of their homes . Despite adopting a more civilized veneer , Wendigos are extremely savage when provoked , since one of Nick ' s ancestors stated that he was lucky enough to get away with his life after a direct confrontation with one . Even so , like most Wesen , Wendigo fear Grimms , as demonstrated by John Kreski ' s reaction to Nick . However , they will still fight with them . It should be noted that if they get wounded , they become more ferocious . They appear to be sadistic creatures , as they enjoy mocking their prey before eating them . Legend The Anishinaabe Ojibwe , and Cree Native Americans all observed compulsive cannibalistic behavior in some individuals . It was said that if someone consumed human flesh , they risked the danger of accidentally becoming possessed by a demon , which would cause the human to take on the demon ' s form . The demon , known as a Wendigo , would drive the human into a compulsive cannibalism known as " Wendigo psychosis . " The widespread fear of the Wendigo led to a social taboo around cannibalism . Legend also had it that the Wendigos ' hunger could never be sated . Wendigos would compulsively eat human after human , and as it consumed more , it would become larger , causing the stomach to never become full . As a result , a Wendigo that had consumed several humans in a short time would become very large . Excerpt from Grimm Diaries Huntington Vermont . April 5 , 1759 After the disappearance of the magistrate and his wife , I tracked what I believed to be a Wildermann through Starksboro into the Camel ' s Hump forest . It was there I first heard of the mythical Wendigo from the chieftain of the Algonquian tribe that had provided me refuge for the night . I soon learned that these terrifying beasts are no myth . I came upon the cave of the Wendigo , rife with human remains , having been the scene of many murders and cannibalistic acts . Two days later , I encountered the Wendigo himself . His eyes seemed to glow . His breath was hideous with the horrible stench of burned flesh . I made the terrible mistake of wounding him , which only made him more ferocious . I was lucky to escape with my life , as I surely would have been his next dinner guest . Season 2 Blu - ray Grimm Guide Profile Terrifying mythical beasts with needle - like fangs and razor - sharp talons . They are known to dig pits to bury human remains under houses or in basements . Famous cannibals like Jeffrey Dahmer are believed to have in fact been Wendigos . Images Concept art Trivia The Wendigo is the first Wesen with a name that appears in the English language . However , the English is a cognate adopted from the Ojibwe Windigo . In both languages , the word refers to an evil spirit that possesses a person who has previously tasted human flesh , cursing them with an insatiable blood lust . However , in some stories , the Wendigo is not a spirit but a person who turns into a monster if they commit the crime of cannibalism .

http://gringosabroad.com/boil-drinking-water/ | How Long to Boil Drinking Water ? Posted in : Ecuador Food Ecuador Travel Living in Ecuador Bryan Haines Updated : March 8 , 2019 16 comments Everyone knows that boiling water kills the “ stuff ” in it . But how long should you boil it ? Before preparing this post , we boiled it for 20 minutes . We had read it somewhere and we faithfully boiled away – for the past 5 years . But we were wrong . 20 minutes is excessive . How Long Do I Have to Boil Drinking Water ? Not all boiled water is the same . Boiling water for tea is one thing . Boiling it to remove bacteria , amobeas and other pathogens is something else entirely . You need a rolling boil for 1 minute to kill the little bugs for elevations under 2000 meters ( 6,562 feet ) altitude . Live above this altitude and you ’ ll need to increase this to 3 minutes . Here are our sources : US Center for Disease Control “ Boiling can be used as a pathogen reduction method that should kill all pathogens . Water should be brought to a rolling boil for 1 minute . At altitudes greater than 6,562 feet ( greater than 2000 meters ) , you should boil water for 3 minutes . ” Modern Survival Blog “ Water temperatures at 160 ° F ( 70 ° C ) kill all pathogens within 30 minutes . Water temperatures above 185 ° F ( 85 ° C ) kill all pathogens within a few minutes . In the time it takes for water to reach the boiling point ( 212 ° F or 100 ° C ) all pathogens will be killed , even at high altitude . The moment your drinking water reaches a rolling boil , the water has already become safe to drink . ” While we generally filter our water we use tap water for cooking . Until recently we were only using tap water if it would be on the stove for 20 minutes or more – as we obediently followed the imaginary 20 - minute boiling rule . Now we do n ’ t use any filtered water for cooking . Why Boil Water ? The US Center for Disease Control notes : “ Except for boiling , few of the water treatment methods are 100 % effective in removing all pathogens . ” Safe water is one of the biggest concerns for travelers and expats . There are two types of threats in drinking water : Organic contamination : protozoa , bacteria , viruses . Boiling water can eliminate these contaminants Well , they are n ’ t actually eliminated – they just die . You will end up consuming and digesting them but they wo n ’ t cause you harm , if the water is boiled correctly . Toxic contamination : chemical contamination such as pesticide / herbicides , pollution and chemical spills . No amount of boiling will remove these contaminants . You ’ ll have to filter or choose another water source . It ’ s not that all water abroad is bad ( although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that 90 % of the world ’ s water is contaminated ) . It ’ s just that it is different from home . Locals seldom have trouble with their water supply . Visitors can get sick from water that locals drink regularly . How we handle water in Ecuador At home ( in Ecuador ’ s Andes mountains ) we use a water filter . It is a six stage , 4 gallon filter that provides enough water for our family of three . The primary filter stage is the micro - ceramic dome . This traps and filters dirt , debris , contaminants ( such as pesticides and herbicides ) and bacteria . Read our full water filter review When we are on the road , we buy bottled water , juice or soda . If we are at a restaurant , we generally order bottled water or hot drinks . Based on the rule of a one - minute - boil most tea and coffee should be safe . Some short term travelers and new expats like to live - like - a - local . We did too – for a while . And during that time , we all got parasites and amoebas – multiple times . I had food poisoning and had to be hospitalized . Now we are more responsible . If you ’ ve ever traveled with stomach problems you know that it ’ s worth avoiding . As we were planning our move to Ecuador we did n ’ t really know what to expect . We bought a UV water sterilizer pen and a 2 part chlorine mix . Although these are great tools for back - country backpackers and jungle explorers they are not necessary for travelers living in an established town or city – at least not anywhere we ’ ve been . How to Have Safe Water As I was writing this post , I discovered a couple of products that are now on my wish list . I want the first item for my backpack and the second item for a backup house system . Lifestraw Personal Water Filter Filters up to 1000 liters of water without chemicals . Works on the same principle as the ceramic filter – by not allowing pathogens to pass through the microscopic holes . Katadyn Pocket water microfilter This is a more serious piece of equipment . It will filter 50,000 liters and the filter comes out so it can be cleaned . The pump will output 1 liter per minute and it weighs just 550 grams . On the Lighter Side : How to Boil Water As I researched this post , I found some bizarre articles . Here are my favorites from page one of Google : In this video , you ’ ll find out how to make traditional homemade boiled water . Discover how easy it is to bring … Is all boiled water the same ? No ! Learn about boiling water for pasta , boiled eggs , and more . One of our favorite recipes at Epicurious is , essentially , a recipe for boiled water . It has nearly 800 comments – some amused , some indignant , … If you ’ re boiling water to cook with ( and not just for fun ) you ’ ll be adding something to it , so be sure to leave … Boiling means bringing water to 212 degrees Fahrenheit for cooking . But you don ‘ t need a thermometer to boil water . The process to boil water ( or any other kind … How to Boil Water . You just heat the water until it starts bubbling .

Plastic bag ban ? “ Duh — and expanding . ” Mandatory composting and recycling ? “ Everything in its right place — and let ’ s shoot for zero waste by 2020 . ” A solar financing program ? “ Definitely . And let ’ s model it after Groupon , while we ’ re at it , to catch the zeitgeist . ” But even a city on the cutting edge has its share of difficult realities to face . The city has the second - most expensive housing market in the U.S. and middle - class families are being priced out . California could see a 16 - inch sea - level rise by mid - century and 55 inches by 2100 , according to one estimate [ PDF ] . Surrounded by water on three sides , the city is particularly vulnerable . Melanie Nutter . Still , San Francisco Department of the Environment Director Melanie Nutter is optimistic . “ Cities are so well - poised to take action and make a collective impact , ” she says . “ That ’ s one of the reasons I love working on the local level . You can really see that movement and that change . ” Nutter has tried the alternative : She was working for then - Speaker Nancy Pelosi when national climate bills seemed attainable . “ It takes so much to try to move policy at the federal level , ” she says . “ Waxman - Markey was very disappointing to see fall apart . ” I talked to Nutter for Knope and change , our series on the women working hard to green our cities . Here ’ s an edited version of our conversation : Q . I recently saw a map of San Francisco looking at possible sea - level rise scenarios . It was n ’ t pretty . What are you planning for and how are you planning for it ? A . This is very much on our minds in light of Sandy and the extreme weather events that we are starting to see . Just in the past two weeks , we ’ ve had torrential downpours in San Francisco . Rain is common this time of year , but there ’ s been a number of atmospheric conditions that created a [ Pineapple Express ] , which was basically a complete dumping . There are pictures of places in San Francisco where it ’ s up to people ’ s knees on certain streets where the storm drains got flooded from what we thought was going to be a simple rainshower . We are reminded again and again how vulnerable we are . Many different city agencies in San Francisco have their own adaptation programs or projects where they ’ ve looked at how changes in sea - level rise or climate impacts could affect their agencies . The public utilities commission has been looking at how snowpack is going to affect the water supply as well as how sea - level rise will affect storm drains . This month , the Department of the Environment is launching an effort to bring all of those city agencies together . We know we need a grander , more unified , collaborated effort . Q . Can you act fast enough ? COP18 looks to be another letdown when it comes to international climate change efforts . On the federal level , things are n ’ t looking very hopeful either . A . The good news is that San Francisco has already made great progress on reducing our carbon emissions locally . [ Editor ’ s note : San Francisco is working on a review of how much they ’ ve been able to cut emissions . There ’ s been debate over the numbers in the past . ] We ’ ve done a lot of great work locally and I think we ’ re on a good track to reduce emissions even more . That being said , carbon emissions do not obey city boundaries . There is only so much you can do locally , but I ’ m hopeful about cities in general . Cities account for 75 percent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and about 80 percent of the energy use worldwide . If cities do act , and we ’ re not just all recreating the wheel and are instead sharing best practices and taking action and being nimble , cities can really accelerate progress . San Francisco has seen a 10 percent decline in the number of middle - class households . New York is the only U.S. city with a less - affordable housing market . Is your department involved in slowing this in any way ? jondoeforty1 To be honest , housing policy is not something within our purview . There is a lot going on in the city to help increase access to affordable housing in San Francisco . [ We ] see a lot of families who end up leaving the city and county of San Francisco due to affordability . It ’ s one thing to move here in your 20s and live in an apartment with lots of roommates . It ’ s another thing to try to raise a family where you have a lot of additional costs . There are certain Your green building labels program is praised for boosting property values It increases the property values but it does n ’ t trigger an assessment , so it ’ s not going to increase people ’ s property taxes . And when you think about a green , efficient building , they ’ re cheaper [ to ] operate . There ’ s a direct connection between greening and bringing costs down . The question is “ Are those savings passed down from a property manager to tenants in a particular apartment building or commercial building ? ” That ’ s of course what we would like to see . San Francisco has some of the highest parking prices in the nation . One of your department ’ s goals is to get people out of their cars . Are high parking prices a way to encourage that , or just a budget issue ? That ’ s a budget issue . It ’ s been a way to generate more revenue for the transportation agency to increase transit . One of the programs we ’ re supporting is the SF Park Program which is basically congestion pricing at the meter level . MTA is able to see in real time what streets are congested and adjust parking rates based on congestion . That ’ s very helpful because it decreases idling and circling in very congested areas and it ’ s a disincentive to bring your car into certain congestion areas . It decreases greenhouse gas emissions and it also helps people think about alternatives to bringing their car into the city . San Francisco is getting a reputation for parklets , in which a parallel parking space is turned into a tiny park . Get Grist in your inbox Always free , always fresh .

It ’ s a smart cities concept where you think about how technology can really enable the connection between the building sector , the transportation sector , and the energy sector to have not only a sustainable city but a smart city . That ’ s one vision of where we are headed . The other is a future where we do n ’ t have a green job and we do n ’ t have a green building .

http://grist.org/climate-energy/for-the-birds-and-the-bats-8-ways-wind-power-companies-are-trying-to-prevent-deadly-collisions/ | Pembina Institute Climate & Energy For the birds ( and the bats ) : 8 ways wind power companies are trying to prevent deadly collisions By Roger Drouin on Jan 3 , 2014 Get your daily dose of good news from Grist Subscribe to The Beacon Hundreds of thousands of birds and bats are killed by wind turbines in the U.S. each year , including some protected species such as the golden eagle and the Indiana bat . That ’ s only a small fraction of the hundreds of millions killed by buildings , pesticides , fossil - fuel power plants , and other human causes , but it ’ s still worrying — especially as wind power is experiencing record growth . Both the wind industry and the federal government have been under intense public scrutiny over the issue in recent weeks . In late November , the Obama administration fined Duke Energy Renewables $ 1 million for illegally killing birds , the first time a wind company has been prosecuted under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act . Then , just two weeks later , the administration announced a controversial new rule that will allow energy companies to get 30 - year permits for non - intentional eagle deaths at wind farms . The feds emphasize that the new rule requires additional conservation measures , but it still angered many conservationists . The pressure is now on for wind energy companies to reduce bird and bat mortality . Lindsay North , outreach manager for the American Wind Energy Association , which lobbies for the industry , says wind developers are committed to “ doing our best to try to have the lowest impact on birds . ” The industry is collaborating with wildlife researchers on promising technologies and approaches that are already being field - tested , and on some experimental and even far - fetched ideas that could help reduce mortality in the long term . “ I am very optimistic we can make significant progress , ” said biologist Taber Allison , director of research at the American Wind Wildlife Institute , a nonprofit partnership of wind companies , scientists , and environmental organizations such as the National Audubon Society and the Sierra Club . Here are eight things the industry is trying or considering in an effort to reduce bird and bat mortality . 1 . Smarter siting It ’ s all about location , location , location . The No . 1 way to prevent bird deaths is to do a better job choosing sites for wind energy development , said raptor researcher Richard Gerhardt : “ It ’ s an issue of where you put the turbines . ” Federal wildlife officials , working with the industry , finalized more specific , stricter siting practices this year , as part of the same changes that allowed the 30 - year permits for eagle deaths . In particular , federal officials are worried about the placement of wind farms in golden eagle habitat out West , and the new permitting process takes those concerns into account . When they are focused on their prey , golden eagles , which are protected under three federal laws , are especially vulnerable to turbines . “ Certainly as an industry we believe not every site is equal and not every site should be developed , ” said John Anderson , director of siting policy for AWEA . “ It starts with desktop analysis of where the risk lies , ” he said . “ But you ca n ’ t assess risks without on - the - ground boots analysis . ” It would be difficult for wind developers to avoid eagle territory altogether . “ The eagles love to fly where the wind is high and strong and they can soar over open country , ” said Frank B . Isaacs , golden eagle project manager for the Oregon Eagle Foundation . “ And it is exactly the same places they want to put these wind farms . ” But wind companies can at least avoid eagles ’ and hawks ’ migratory routes and known flight paths . For instance , wind farms could be set back from cliffs and sloping hills where eagles use an updraft to soar , Isaacs said . 2 . Radar The industry is also turning to radar technology that could detect when eagles and other birds are approaching . Turbines could be slowed or shut down when the radar , along with employees monitoring the horizon , determine birds are within a certain zone . Some radar systems are proving to be better than others at telling an eagle from a crow ( or a swarm of insects ) , said Anderson . But live testing has shown that the more - refined radar technology can reduce the risk to large species , according to Allison , including protected birds such as whooping cranes , condors , and eagles . This kind of early - warning radar technology has been deployed at wind farms along the Texas Gulf coast during the spring migration of songbirds . Some wind companies in the area are also watching for meteorological conditions that might suggest when songbirds are in migration , and conditions such as low visibility , when the songbirds might fly lower and thus closer to the turbines . 3 . GPS tracking Thus far there have been no reported California condor deaths caused by wind turbines . And at least one company is trying to ensure the endangered birds can coexist with the growing wind energy presence in the state . Many of the 230 California condors flying in the wild are fitted with GPS transmitters , so Terra - Gen , one of the top wind developers in the country , uses a high - frequency receiver to track the condors near its California facilities . “ They are listening , if you will , for condors , ” Allison said . “ If they pick up a signal and it gets within this space , the company can say , ‘ We ’ ll shut down this string of turbines . ’ ” 4 . Ultrasonic acoustics Most birds killed by wind turbines die because they get hit by spinning blades . Many bats seem to die for a different , even gorier reason : the lower wind pressure near the blades causes their lungs to explode . Because birds and bats react differently to turbines , scientists are pursuing different methods to protect them . © Ed Arnett , Bat Conservation International A “ boom box ” prototype device designed to repel bats away from wind turbines , from Deaton Engineering . “ There are two things that appear to be the most promising ” when it comes to reducing bat deaths , said Chris Hein , wind energy program coordinator with Bat Conservation International . The first of those is ultrasonic acoustic determent . Bat Conservation International has been collaborating with Deaton Engineering to design ultrasonic “ boom boxes ” that emit continuous high - frequency sounds , from 10 kHz to 100 kHz , intended to confuse bats ’ echolocation to the point that they avoid the area . “ It essentially jams their radar , making it difficult to perceive sonar , ” Hein said . “ That creates a disorientating atmosphere , and they do n ’ t want to be associated with that airspace . It does n ’ t harm the bat in any way . It would be like going into an extremely bright room that is so bright we would n ’ t be able to navigate or see well . ” © Michael Baker , Bat Conservation International An engineer attaches an acoustic deterrent device to a turbine . Study results on this kind of technology have been largely inconclusive so far , but Hein believes that ’ s because of the inconsistency of the devices that have been used to date . There are encouraging signs , he said . Tests of some ultrasonic acoustic equipment have found that it can halve the number of fatalities for certain species of bats . “ We still have a long way to go with that technology , ” Hein said . For one thing , it needs to be refined to work better in rain and high wind . Get Grist in your inbox Always free , always fresh . The Beacon Other Newsletters Ask your climate scientist if Grist is right for you . See our privacy policy But he ’ s hopeful that recent advances could lead to commercially deployable devices . 5 . Leaving turbines off when wind speeds are low The second strategy that has been shown to help reduce bat deaths is waiting longer to turn on the turbines , until wind speeds are higher . “ Bats like to travel in very low - wind conditions , ” Hein said . According to the only published study on the subject , leaving the turbines dormant until wind speed reaches 5.5 meters per second reduced bat mortality by nearly 60 percent compared with normally operating turbines . The industry standard is to have blades start spinning when wind hits 3.5 to 4 meters per second . The question is whether this method is economically feasible . Anderson said the industry is “ in the process ” of evaluating this strategy . “ It does come at a cost to the electric company , ” Hein said . “ But some of the early research shows the loss of revenue is not that much . ” This strategy is currently being employed at wind farms in the Midwest and East Coast within the habitat range of the Indiana bat , a medium - sized , mouse - eared bat listed as endangered since 1967 . 6 . Painting turbines different colors Some research has shown that migratory tree bats are attracted to turbines , but the reason is n ’ t known , Allison said . One study found that they may associate the turbines with a body of water . Another theory is that bats approach the turbines in pursuit of prey . A study conducted in England suggested that simply changing the color of wind turbines to hues less attractive to insects could reduce the number of bugs that congregate around the turbines , which could in turn reduce bat deaths . Ultimately , understanding why bats keep coming to turbines will be key in finding ways to keep them safe . 7 . Designing new turbine shapes Earlier designs were found to attract roosting birds , which would perch and nest inside the turbines ’ lattice - style structures , but newer designs discourage roosting . In addition , engineers are exploring completely new kinds of wind equipment that could potentially be less harmful to birds and bats than traditional turbines . They range from large kites that harness the wind to vertical axis turbines A jet - engine - inspired design , called the FloDesign turbine , marks a distinct departure from traditional turbine design , with blades encased in a larger structure . Because it would be more visible , Allison believes it could pose less of a threat to birds . 8 . Strike detection If a turbine could recognize when it has been hit by a bird , it could potentially slow itself down or shut off to minimize the risk to other birds in the area . A collaborative research effort between Oregon State University and Mesalands Community College in New Mexico is looking into this idea . Researchers are currently using tennis balls to mimic bird strikes . The research could lead to commercial strike - detection equipment , said Jim Morgan , director of the North American Wind Research and Training Center at Mesalands . “ If it works , it could be helpful for offshore wind , ” said Allison . Pembina Institute Yes , they can coexist . Morgan is hopeful that the research at Mesalands and elsewhere will eventually lead to a notable reduction in bird and bat mortality . “ Man is good at solving problems when someone is willing to invest in the science , ” he said . Reducing wind development ’ s impact on endangered species and other wildlife would help the industry avoid problems with the federal government and boost wind power ’ s public image . Allison believes there is also another motive : “ They want to do it because they are conservation - mined , too . Many people in the wind industry work in the industry because they believe they ’ re doing something to reduce the impacts of climate change , which many believe is the single biggest threat . ” Show comments | [

http://grist.org/living/how-many-times-can-i-use-a-towel-before-it-gets-gross/ | Living How many times can I use a towel before it gets gross ? By Ask Umbra ® on Oct 6 , 2014 Get your daily dose of good news from Grist Subscribe to The Beacon Q . I need a towel strategy . I do n ’ t like using a wet towel to dry off when I step out of the shower . But , I also feel bad every time I grab for a fresh towel , since it means more laundry ( and the requisite energy and water use ) . How many times should I be using my towels before I put them in the washing machine ? Is there anything I can do to freshen them up between showers ? This problem is compounded by the humid summers down here in the Adrian Durham , N.C . A . Dearest Adrian , Consider me your Captain of Towel Tactics . Just give me a moment to get my blueprint paper and drafting pencils … OK , strategic planning in session : I like this question , Adrian , because at first glance it seems like a small one . But consider that today ’ s standard washing machines use about 25 gallons of water per load ( Energy Star models do better with 15 gallons ) , plus the electricity required for both washers and dryers — especially if you ( shudder ) wash with hot water . With the average American family doing 300 laundry loads every year , there are clearly substantial savings to be had . I also like this question because when we talk about laundry here at Ask Umbra , we tend to talk a lot about swapping dryers for clotheslines , or green detergents , or efficient washing machines clotheslines again . We rarely address the root cause of this laundry problem : Namely , the piles of laundry themselves , overflowing from our collective hampers . Reducing the number of loads we wash should absolutely be a part of this conversation , whether they ’ re made up of terry cloth or not . ( Towels can make for significant savings , by the way : Hotel programs requesting that guests reuse their towels have been shown to reduce laundry loads by 17 percent . ) To your first question , Adrian : How long can we delay towel - washing day ? When researching this column , I came across a frightening number of forum users and commenters who admit to tossing towels to the laundry room after a single bathing session . ( Why , people ? Was it a dirt bath ? ) The experts recommend more like once a week : Even your freshly showered birthday suit will leave skin cells behind on a towel , upon which mildew and bacteria may then feast . You ’ ll have to set your own hygiene standards , but I can tell you my towels usually serve quite a bit longer than that with zero ill effects . Naturally , drying towels thoroughly between rubdowns is the best way to extend their lifespan . And I do have some ideas on that front for you too , Adrian , even during those sticky Southern summers . I ’ m assuming you ’ re already doing the basics — i.e. , those persistently moist towels are hanging neatly on a rack , not balled up on the bathroom floor , yes ? Then try these on for size : Rotate towels . This ingenious tip comes courtesy of Mother Nature News : Simply add another towel to your routine . Hang one , then reach for the second the next time around . By the third shower , towel No . 1 should have had plenty of time to dry . Repeat . Use smaller towels . They ’ ll dry faster . Take it from someone who was recently stranded in a rental house bathroom with only a washcloth : You ’ d be surprised how dry you can get with less cotton . Dehumidify the bathroom . Use your ventilation fan ( or open a window ) for a bit after your shower , not just during , to cut down on the sauna factor . ( Presumably the air inside your fogged - up bathroom is more humid than the air outside , even in the steamy South . ) Employ your other appliances . You do n ’ t have AC , but what about a box fan ? Draping towels near it can rapidly speed drying . Ditto for a heating vent come winter . Pop them in the dryer . Right after your shower , run towels through the dryer on “ air fluff ” or low heat for a few minutes , just to take the edge off . Fight the stink . When you finally do a towel load , wash them with a cup of vinegar . This is an age - old mildew - buster that also removes detergent buildup , leaving the towels extra - fresh and ready for their next extended tour of duty .

http://grist.org/living/is-it-safe-to-drink-water-out-of-plastic-pipes/ | Shutterstock Living Is it safe to drink water out of plastic pipes ? By Ask Umbra ® on Jan 8 , 2015 Get your daily dose of good news from Grist Subscribe to The Beacon Q . We recently purchased an older home that needs to be re - plumbed . Everyone is saying PEX pipe is the way of the future , and is less expensive and less invasive to install . I ’ m concerned about the human health and environmental impacts . One friend said his water tasted ‘ lemony ’ after installing PEX . Should we stick with copper pipes ? Monika Denver , Colo . A . Dearest Monika , I admit , I like a splash of lemon in my water now and again — but only if the citrusy tang comes from an actual lemon . The possibility of strange flavors and smells emanating from the tap would certainly put me on alert , too , were I replacing my pipes . I mean , we ’ re talking about your drinking water here : the liquid of life . PEX pipes , for those who do n ’ t frequent the aisles of Home Depot , are made from cross - linked polyethylene — plastic , in other words . Rather than the stiff architecture you get with metal pipes , PEX pipes resemble a network of garden hoses snaking through your home . And they do boast some advantages : They ’ re a lot cheaper than copper these days , for one . And they ’ re flexible and do n ’ t need as many joints , making PEX tubing easier and quicker to install , especially for retrofits like yours , Monika . PEX also resists freeze - related bursting and corrosion better than copper pipes . And one life cycle analysis ( commissioned by the plastic pipe industry , I should note ) found that plastic pipes of all types use less energy and produce fewer emissions than copper throughout their useful lives . That ’ s the pro - PEX case . But it ’ s not perfect : For one , highly valuable copper can be recycled . Not so for PEX . PEX is vulnerable to UV rays , so it ca n ’ t be exposed to the light of day . And finally we get to the heart of your question : There are indeed concerns about plastic pipes leaching chemicals into your water . The rub is , we do n ’ t know much about the whys , hows , and how - muchs right now , as PEX has n ’ t been studied much in the U.S. The National Science Foundation is currently funding research into this very topic amid homeowner reports that PEX pipes make the shower smell like gasoline or the water from the kitchen taps taste like acetone wax , or plastic . Maybe your friend ’ s lemony flavor is n ’ t so bad after all , considering . Some of the latest research coming out of the NSF project tested several brands of PEX tubing for chemical leaching – and found it . Perhaps surprisingly , the smelliest water ( like the Eau de Petrol shower ) did n ’ t contain any substances that exceeded federal drinking water standards . But scientists detected 11 different plastic - related chemicals in water from PEX pipes , and water from one brand tested positive for ETBE , a chemical sometimes added to gasoline . There is no federal limit for the stuff in drinking water , but New Hampshire and New York have strict standards for it , so at least some public health officials think there ’ s reason to avoid it . The water in question exceeded those state ETBE limits . I spoke to one of the lead researchers , Andrew Whelton , assistant professor at Purdue ’ s Division of Environmental and Ecological Engineering and Lyles School of Civil Engineering , to try to clarify what all this means for confused consumers . And I ’ m afraid there are no easy answers , Monika . “ Not all PEX is created equal , ” Whelton said . “ Just because one brand of PEX leaches a lot of chemicals into the water does n ’ t mean the brand sitting next to it will have the same effect . What ’ s unfortunate is that people walking into building supply stores have no idea about which ones are dirtier than others . ” So , should we be worried about PEX ? “ I err on the side of caution , ” Whelton said . “ If there ’ s something in water that I can avoid , I typically do . ” I ’ d add that I personally would skip any pipes that make my water smell funky , even if there are n ’ t dangerous chemicals in it . Still , if copper pipes are outside of your budget , that might not be an option . If you have the luxury of time , I ’ d wait for more research to roll in on PEX pipes before making any decisions . But if you ’ re facing a plumbing emergency , you ’ ll have to hold your nose and choose based on what we know today . Best of luck , Monika . No matter what happens , I hope your water only tastes lemony when there ’ s a real lemon floating in it . Thirstily , Umbra Show comments Ask a Question .
